70 Many writings of the ancients, as Cardinal Mai has remarked, may be disinterred from the Oriental manuscripts in the Vatican library, some of which have been brought to light by that eminent scholar. In an Arabic ms. he discovered a large portion of the following discourse by St. Alexander, the patriarch of Alexandria, which he afterwards met with entire in the Syrian Vatican manuscript 368. The Greek version being lost, Mai, with the assistance of the erudite Maronites, Matthaeus Sciahuanus, and Franciscus Mehasebus, translated the discourse into Latin, and his version has been chiefly followed in the following translation. Of its genuineness there is no doubt, and it is quite worthy of a place among his other writings.
71 Gen. i. 26.
72 The passage, as far as to "rise again the third day from the dead," is generally marked with inverted commas, and Mai remarks that it had been already brought to light by him under the name of the same Alexander, in the Spicileg. Roman., vol. iii. p. 699, amongst some extracts of the Fathers from the Arabic Vatican Codex, 101, in which is contained the celebrated Monophysite work entitled Fides Patrum. It is established therefore that this discourse was written in Greek by Alexander, and afterwards translated not only into the Syriac, but also into the Arabic language.

We began our review of the 2011 Mets by examining their free agents and players the team will consider tending contracts to. We started evaluating the rest of the roster, beginning with infielder Ruben Tejada and continue today with Lucas Duda. Tomorrow: Justin Turner.
THE SKINNY: Duda is power personified. When he gets one, it goes. He's the last Met who needs the fences brought in. Duda was brought up to play first base after Ike Davis was injured, and finished the season as the candidate to play right field this year.
PRE-SEASON EXPECTATIONS: After a brief display of his power in 2010, Duda started the season in the minor leagues as expected with the anticipation he would be brought up eventually in case of emergency, but definitely when the rosters were expanded.
HOW THE SEASON PLAYED OUT: Duda's opportunity came when Davis injured his ankle in a collision with David Wright. After a slow start, Duda finished with 10 homers and 50 RBI in 347 at-bats. First base was totally his after Daniel Murphy was disabled, but with right field forecast as a hole because of the Carlos Beltran trade, Duda eventually got 46 games in the outfield (42 in right). He closed the season with the expectations of being first in line for right field in spring training.
JOHN'S TAKE: Personally, when it became apparent the Mets wouldn't make the playoffs – and that came pretty early – Duda should have gotten more games in right field. He's not a great defender and a case could be made for moving him to left and shifting Jason Bay to right field, which is a difficult position at Citi Field. The brought-in fences should help Duda at the plate, but also in the field as there will now be less room to roam. I like Duda for a lot of reasons, not the least of which was his decision to bunt when he was on a roll because that was the team thing to do. The man plays hard and deserves a chance. With his power he should at least double his home run production over a full season.
JOE'S TAKE: For some odd reason, I've found myself having to defend Lucas Duda on a number of occasions this offseason. Many Mets fans don't seem to believe in him as I do as an offensive presence in the lineup. Here are the facts…
Lucas Duda was leading the league with a .597 SLG and 1.100 OPS prior to his promotion to the Mets. In his last 153 minor league games, Duda slugged 33 home runs and drove in 111 runs. He also had 48 doubles in that span. In other words 550 AB, 48, 2B, 33 HR, 111 RBI, 96 RS, 83 BB, 111 K. In five years in the minors Duda has a .286 batting average, .383 OBP, and a .473 SLG. Fluke?
After Duda was promoted this season he batted .292 in 300 AB with 21 2B, 10 HR, 50 RBI, .370 OBP and .487 SLG. As he got acclimated to the majors he kept getting better posting OPS of .711, .910, .911 and .929 from June to September to finish third in the National League that final month of the season.
Now I'm not saying Duda is the next Jim Rice or Manny Ramirez, but he could be the next Carlos Lee. It's no coincidence I'm using left fielders as a comparison, but ultimately left field is where I see Lucas Duda settling in. And while his routes to balls and his overall defense leaves a lot to be desired, I believe he'll get better as he becomes more acclimated.
The kid's a keeper.

Dialog #1
These lessons, by one of our most consistent FaithWriters' Challenge Champions, should not be missed. So we're making a permanent home for them here.
Moderators: mikeedwards, glorybee
You are truly a master teacher!
I am learning so much through your skillful editing done with such a gentle touch. Thank you.
May God's gentle grace be with you.
Jim McWhinnie
I learned so much more here than I think I did with CWG!
Thanks, Jan, apple for the teacher....not sure how to do the italics, when I cut and paste I lose them. I can't figure out how it works on this post a reply. My computer skills leave a lot to be desired.
With God All things are Possible!
I agree as well. Your teaching and assignments have done more for my writing than anything else I've used up to this point.
Haven't had time to trim that story down, but I plan on doing it soon.
What a great lesson! I made the mistake of reading the homework and by the time I'd read three or four I was spooked. Next time I'll jump in and have a go before reading back over others' works. Excellent learning opportunity. Thank you Jan.
There are two ways to do italics--one for these boards, and one for the Writing Challenge. Both are pretty easy, and use HTML.
On the boards, before you hit submit (you have to still be in the text box), highlight (with your mouse) the word or phrase you want in italics. Then just click on the little box near the top left of your blue reply area--it's got a little 'i' on it. You'll see some unusual symbols appear near your highlighted text--and when you hit 'submit', it'll be highlighted.
It's not quite so simple for challenge entries, but still only takes a few steps.
1. Copy and paste your entry into the Challenge Submission box.
2. Locate the word or phrase that you want in italics
3. Type these symbols before and after the word, so that it looks like this: (I'm going to italicize 'best' in the sentence below)
Piper is the <i>best</i> granddaughter ever.
4. Hit the 'preview' button. Your sentence should appear in your entry like this:
Piper is the best granddaughter ever.
5. If you've mistyped even one symbol of the HTML code, it won't show up right, but you can go back and fix it. Hit 'Preview' and check again until you get it right. Once you've done it once or twice, it'll become second nature.

Here's my version of your "hot mess", Jan.
I don't want to convey a picture of Tina as a wimpy young mom, and let an immature teen get away with her whining and whims. If I were to write a Christian story, this is how I'd write it and make a difference.
"Yeah, I heard about it, Jos. Ashley's Mom called and asked me if I'd let you."
"So?" Will you let me, Mom?"
"Ah-ah, nope," I braved an answer. I knew she would growl at me.
Jocelyn pouted. Sulked. Glared at me. "Why, what's wrong with Spring Break Axe Mur..." she didn't continue.
"You tell me, Jos." My thirty- year-old wisdom in mothering Jocelyn hadn't gone a long way since I was seventeen when I had her. But it was worth the try.
"Oh, Mom!" Jocelyn let out her usual tantrum. "I'm fourteen; I know what's good and bad for me."
"I suppose Tiffani, Ashley and all at the youth group who'll be watching it believe the same thing?"
" Idon't care what they believe."
"I care, Jos." I let out a sigh, hoping she'd understand. "I do care whom you associate with."
"It's only a movie, Mom". Jocelyn slouched on the couch beside me.
"They say, it's kinda' cool if I'd go and see it."
"Wait here." I tapped on her knee and prepared to dart into the kitchen.
"Mom, I gotta' go! They're waiting for me at Ash's." She whined. And shuffled her feet under the coffee table.
"I'll be there in a minute! I'll just bring this choc mud cake I baked a while ago. Thought you might like to eat it with me."
Jocelyn cupped her chin. She imagined an imprisonment in her own house. She eyed the wall clock, which ticked away a chance at breaking loose from her mother's clutches, if she dared.
"Here, your favourite," I sliced a fourth piece. "Watch that special ingredient I put there."
Her doomed pretty face changed. An I- wonder- what- Mom's- up- to face lightened her up a bit.
"Isn't this your usual mud cake, Mom?"
"I put in some potting mix, and Collie's poo to add darker shade. I ran out of choc'lit"
"Oh, Mom, d'yo expect me to eat this?"
"It's only potting mix, and poo added to the nice cake. What's wrong with it?"
"Spring Break Axe ... Murderer," I braced myself for the real thing to say . Even though she'd be upset with me, I cringed my face and went on, "tell me what's it like to sit there in the movies and taste and see all that rubbish?
Silence. And then a sigh.
"I'm sorry, Jos. I'm not sold to this kind'o' thing- Friday nights at the movies with your friends at youth group."
"I'll call Ash, and tell her I'm not coming."
"Thanks, Jos."
"Oh, thanks, Mom."
I hope it's okay to have written it this way.
"It's not fair!" Jocelyn stormed into her bedroom and slammed the door.
"I don't deserve this." Tina muttered, her eyes rolling heavenward.
The bedroom door flew open, and Jocelyn dramatically flopped into the chair in the kitchen. "Ashley and Tiffani are going, why can't I? I know, you don't trust me. You think I'll end up kidnapped by a gang of loonies."
"Jocelyn, you know that's not what I think. I'm not happy with your choice of movies. Isn't there a comedy playing? How about that movie about the young woman writer on her first job?" Tina could always hope.
"Boring! No one wants to see a dumb movie about a writer." Jocelyn was determined to have her way.
"I guess you can go, as long as you're home by 10." Tina fleetingly thought of all the trouble she used to get into between 7 and 10 when she was Jocelyn's age. It took some willpower to suppress that thought long enough to give her daughter a hug and a weak smile. "Have fun" she called just as the front door slammed close behind Jocelyn.
This was fun. I am pretty new to fiction writing, and need lots of practice with dialog.
Hey, Steppingheavenward--
Superb job on the dialog--you made both characters sound realistic and natural, and you included an excellent object lesson for us, too!
One teeny thing--and it's not the focus of this lesson, but something you might find useful. In the entire story, your POV character is Tina, the mother. It's Tina's thoughts and feelings your reader experiences. But in the middle--can you find it?--for one paragraph, you abruptly switch to Jocelyn's POV. In such a short story, that's usually a no-no.
Thanks so much for this excellent "homework" assignment!

Deconut, well done! I can't really find anything to fix--if you wanted to revisit it, the only thing I'd suggest would be to give the character of the mother a bit more personality. She's admittedly the hard one to write--it's easy to write spunky teens, but moms all tend to sound the same, unless we give them some kind of distinctive personalily quirk.
But really, this is quite fine! You're doing very well!

Jocelyn stood and crossed her arms to make her next point.
"Everyone's gonna be there, mom. You don't even need to take me. Ashley's boyfriend can take us."
"You have to be 18 to drive other kids around, Jocelyn. It's the law."
Jocelyn's eyes dropped and rolled, looking for an answer.
"He's 18?"
"Mom, don't. Dad was four years older than you when you started dating."
"And where is your dad now?"
Tina cringed at hearing her own words. Her tongue was too loose with her daughter.
Jocelyn turned and the silence became palpable. Her shoulders curled inwards and her body began to bob in rhythm with her sniffles. Tina crossed the egg shells between them and embraced her daughter from behind as if her warmth would melt the icy silence.
"You can go see Spring Break Axe Murderer with your friends," she apologized.
Jocelyn carefully twisted, so as to not break her mother's embrace.
"Will you take me?" she asked through tears.
"And pick you up," her mother replied, gently raising her daughter's chin to find the windows of her daughter's soul had been replaced by mirrors.
"Get to work. Your work is to keep cranking the flywheel that turns the gears that spin the belt in the engine of belief that keeps you and your desk in midair." ~Dillard.
I'm playing catch up here. I made a slight detour. I've been in the hospital because of kidney stones.
I'm jumping up and down because I got a gold star from Jan, even though I also got a slap on the wrist for changing tenses. (Can't believe I didn't notice that...right after we had that lesson, too!)
Thanks, Jan. Loving your class and learning so much.

With New Years within spitting distance, I got to thinking about resolutions, and why it is that so many of us have found so little success with them. And here's what I've come up with: we are thinking too big.
I'm going to get in shape/become fluent in Mandarin/launch my business/get organized/go vegan: these are all noble goals, and if I've named your resolution, I am in no way telling you to ditch it: I'm suggesting that the best way to actually achieve it might be to think smaller. Way smaller.
And to get achingly specific: If your goal is to launch a business, that's all well and good, but it's rather vague, don't you think? Launch it by when? How much money would you need to do it? What services would you offer? Would you have employees? Do you need a website? And what, exactly, do you mean by "launch," anyway?
If you're aiming to make 2012 the year you "get in shape," well, what would that look like? Precisely what does "getting in shape" mean to you? A certain number on the scale? Getting back into your favorite pair of jeans–the ones from 15 years and two kids ago? Having some kind of an exercise routine? Running a marathon? Wrapping your double-cheeseburger in lettuce instead of a bun?
Once you've got a specific picture of what you want, then it's time to break it down into to-dos. And, to make those to-dos doable, make them as small as possible. In his book "Getting Things Done," Management consultant David Allen wrote that the best way to tackle an overloaded in-box is to focus on "actionable items"–as in, items that can be done now. (For instance, putting on your shoes is not actionable until you have socks on–so getting thy tootsies into their socks is your first to-do.) A grosser expression that gets at the same idea goes something like this: How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
This thinking small principle is one with which I heartily agree–and it applies not just to managing your email inbox or ingesting sizable pachyderms; it's exceedingly helpful in terms of big personal goals, too.
Big goals are often amorphous and unwieldy: They seem too hazy, too big, too unreachable–too elephantine!–to conquer. In the absence of specificity and of manageable things we can do NOW, we become paralyzed. And the lack of progress that results from, you know, being paralyzed in turn leaves us totally unmotivated. So specific, doable, bite-size goals serve a dual purpose: they'll keep you moving towards the bigger ones, and the constant realizations that you're actually making progress will keep you motivated.
So what can you do right now? Maybe this week you call your friend who launched her own business a couple of years ago, and ask her to coffee so you can pick her brain? (Truly, has there ever been a more disgusting phrase? I mean, other than the one about eating elephants.) Then, once you have a date set, maybe you make a list of questions you'd like to ask her. If you want to get in shape, maybe you can do a quick google search to find out the gyms closest to you. Then tomorrow, call them and ask about rates.
And each time you take a tiny step, take the time to congratulate yourself, and cross it off your list. Then focus on the next one. Then the next and the next and the next one after that. Progress is just that: Progress. Keep at it, and one day in the not too distant future, you'll be eating a whole new elephant.

Great show for the family.
High energy show, first act is a little slow, great vocals, amazing special effects, second act will blow you away.

Spider-Man is pure joyous entertainment!
Spider-Man:Turn Off the Dark seems to have fixed the problems that plagued it in earlier productions. The sets, costumes, music, choreography, and all the flying around is absolutely amazing. This play will have wide appeal--I sat next to some fifth graders, and I was as enthralled as they, and I'm 60+! The cast is great and the music is memorable, too, and I think that once this musical officially opens that it will rank right up there with Les Mis, Phantom, and Evita. I cannot wait to see Spider-Man again; it's pure joyous entertainment.
Written on June, 5th 2011
Great show for all ages!
Saw the show on 5/21/11. Loved it!! All the publicity the show received we decided to go and see for ourselves. Great show very entertaining for people of all ages. Loved the songs and how well put the play was. It kept with the cartoon feel plus added the broadway feel. See it for yourselves.

Beyond Expectations ...
I was searching for an "Intro to Musicals" for a 21-year-old first-time visitor to NYC and thought "Spider-Man" would at least keep him entertained. Instead, I discovered I thoroughly enjoyed one of the most unique musicals I've experienced in a long time. After seeing most of the 'top' shows on Broadway through the years, this proved to be a high-energy quick-paced spectacle with great music, cartoonish (yet high-tech)classy sets which leave you wondering what would come next. Well-cast with excellent talent, and strong vocals that complement a new yet slightly familiar storyline. Exhausting 'fight' and 'flight' sequences are impressive. Overall, one of the best investments on Broadway! Select seats mid theatre.

If ever a stock seemed like it was squarely in the crosshairs of the fiscal cliff, it's aviation giant Boeing.
The company does a lot of business making planes for the U.S. military. And if we go over the cliff – the defense budget will be slashed by more than $50 billion.
Considering the circumstances, you'd think the price action in a stock like Boeing would be terrible.
But it's not.
Boeing is within a stone's throw of its 52-week high.
And -- according to technical analysis from Bob Lang, a Cramer colleague at RealMoney.com - the action in Boeing's chart suggest the stock has room to run.

I would like to report that the summer of 2016 will be chock-full of surprises, with daring breakouts, exciting new talent, the kinds of movies — big, small, mainstream, off-the-wall — that will turn your head, make you think about art and life and, well, everything, in entirely new ways.
I would like to report this, but ... that would be foolish.
Instead, the summer of 2016 looks a whole lot like the summer of 2015, or 2014, or any other summer at the multiplexes where franchises and sequels, comic-book superheroes, stupid-with-a-capital-S comedies, and at least two movies with Kevin Hart in the cast dominate.
In fact, if there's anything significant about the 70-plus...

After years of anticipation, Zoomers' grand opening day is coming up closer and closer, with plans holding steady to open the first week of June. Since our feature story on Southwest Florida's newest theme park a few weeks ago, the staff continues putting the wheels in motion, completing several projects and coming close to completion on others.
"We are very happy to say that we have been moving at a very quick pace now," said Zoomer's sales manager and eight-year Fort Myers Beach resident Will Sohner. "The landscaping is almost completely done, all of the cement work is now completed on the property, the rollercoaster is up, all of the rails have been inserted on the slick track and very close to operation, all of the Midway rides are now fully operational, Voodoo Island mini golf course is nearing completion, all arcade games have been brought in, and the cement and gate that protects the bumper boats have been put in place."
Will also shared the latest attraction at the park a laser tag field!

According to Zoomers' Will Sohner, plans continue to go along smoothly, with opening day within the first week of June. A job fair will be held through Thursday, May 10, from 9 to 11 a.m. and 5 to 7 p.m. Photo by MELISSA SCHNEIDER.
"We've now added a laser tag filed, consisting of more than two acres of trees, landscaping, barriers and obstacles," Will said. "This is the perfect attraction for individuals and fun team-building exercises, which will be open day and night."
Will said he plans to host unforgettable laser tag games, like Capture the Flag, Disable the Bomb, Protect the VIP and others.
"We're so eager to open to the public. The first week in June is still our target, and we just can't wait," Will said.
Zoomer's will be hosting a job fair twice a day through Thursday, May 10: from 9 to 11 a.m. and 5 to 7 p.m. All applications must be filled out in person to ages 16 and up. The park will be hiring as many as 75 employees over the next several weeks, with such positions available as guest services, ride operators, go-kart attendants and party hosts.
Staff training will begin soon, and within the next couple of weeks, the staff will be able to announce a firm opening date, once they see the final stages and the finishing touches of construction take place.
When the park is complete, it will offer kids and adults of all ages all types of fun and games. From bumper boats, famous Midway rides, laser tag and Voodoo Island mini golf to two brand-new go-kart tracks, a full arcade, concession stands and an all-ages roller coaster, Zoomer's will certainly offer something for everyone.
The theme park is also continuing to accept group bookings and reservations for parties and other private functions. Call 481-9666 (ZOOM).

A federal judge ruled Wednesday in the decades-long desegregation case filed against the Tucson Unified School District that the district must teach "culturally relevant courses."
In the 40-page ruling, U.S. District Judge David Bury did not weigh in on the district's plan to close 11 schools as a budget-cutting measure.
Although supporters of the now defunct Mexican American Studies classes said this could allow those classes to return, the judge said those classes are not at issue in the case. Bury also said the new curriculum should comply with the state law used to shut down the classes last year.
The desegregation issue began in 1974, when parents of Mexican-American and African-American students sued TUSD for what they called discrimination against their children.
The parents were represented by the NAACP and the Mexican Legal Defense and Educational Fund.
The federal government intervened in 1976 in what became known as the Fisher/Mendoza case. In 1978, the parties reached a settlement requiring TUSD to go under a desegregation order monitored by the U.S. Justice Department.
The desegregation order remained in effect until 2009, when TUSD filed a petition with a local district court to terminate federal oversight of the district.
"The court has acknowledged that the district will operate for the advocacy and equal advantage of every child," TUSD officials said at the time. But the plaintiffs in the original desegregation case appealed that decision.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the district's status and in January appointed an overseer to develop a new plan.
In a court filing Wednesday, TUSD said it maintains all the objections that it previously submitted to a desegregation specialist appointed by the court.
The state of Arizona had asked the judge to reconsider adopting the plan. The state argued for the reconsideration because TUSD's new governing board voted last month to remove a previous objection to teaching optional multicultural curriculum.
The judge wrote that the state's objection on development of multicultural curriculum was not substantive, adding that the district could "integrate racially and ethnically diverse perspectives into standard core courses taught to all students such as social studies."
The state argued that allowing Mexican American Studies classes to be taught in TUSD would be using a "federal court-sanctioned avenue to resurrect this illegal course of instruction."
The objection from state officials called the now-defunct classes "illegal, biased, political and emotionally charged," adding that they "promoted social and political activism against 'white people' and fomented racial resentment."
Fiscal issues were briefly addressed in a document filed by the desegregation specialist, Willis Hawley. He wrote that if, in order to implement changes the school district needs additional financing, it can use federally provided desegregation funds.
"The process for developing the budget for funding the plan is underway in conjunction with the district's annual budgetary process," Hawley wrote.

Over the last few decades football has strayed far from its working-class roots. Bleak rain-soaked terraces, pints of cloudy ale and half-time pies have slowly been replaced by generic stadia, overpriced continental lager and the dreaded prawn sandwich. It's become unreasonably expensive to attend top-flight matches. And supporting your nation at this year's Euro 2012 finals in Ukraine and Poland is beyond the means of most individuals. But even if you want to stay at home, and experience the competition from your sofa, controller in hand, you'll too have to pay a premium. UEFA Euro 2012 is DLC for best-selling FIFA 12, and costs 1800 MS points on Xbox LIVE and &#Array;15.99/$25.99 on the PlayStation Store. Its high price-tag isn't necessarily a criticism, but inevitably it invites greater scrutiny of what content is on offer.
When it comes to gameplay, there's very little to say. It's FIFA 12, unaltered. If you're at all familiar with that game, there's nothing new to learn or get your head around. FIFA 12 is a great game, and avoided series stagnation by incorporating several new features this year and reinventing aspects of its gameplay, such as the way in which you defend. And it's all present and correct here, ensuring the gameplay experience is of the same high quality. So what are you actually getting when you download UEFA Euro 2012?
The real differences are superficial. What you're paying for, ultimately, boils down to a new lick of paint and a handful of game modes. Once downloaded, Euro 2012 appears as a new tab on FIFA 12's main navigation bar. Select it, and you'll tumble down the rabbit hole and emerge into a psychedelic world saturated by the tournament's official branding. Brace yourself, though – it's dominated by a startling shade of magenta, which stains everything, like Ukrainian borscht, from the home screen to the constant scorecard. It's strikingly different, and more than a little garish when compared to FIFA's normally reserved and slick fa&#Array;ade.
Some of the graphical tweaks have been trumpeted as "spectacular presentation", but they really amount to little more than the addition of the tournament's 8 official stadia and the match atmosphere being ratcheted up a notch or two. But confetti canons and fireworks for the victors, and a few more unfurled flags, can't really communicate the carnival of a major international tournament. And most of these additions, though well-intentioned, fade once a match begins, and you soon find yourself playing a game of FIFA 12. Yes, the commentary may occasionally allude to your striker being in contention for the Golden Boot, and yes, the branding boards might have authentic sponsors now on them, but it's all veneer. The grain hasn't been touched.
There are some more significant changes, it should be noted. The roster of international teams has been expanded. Every single UEFA nation is now present, including the likes of Wales and Israel who were absent from FIFA 12. (Although Wales's team is bizarrely populated by mispelled imposters, including G. Belth for Gareth Bale.)
Clearly, the addition of every nation has been done to make Euro 2012 appeal to even those whose national team didn't make the championship. This mainly comes into play in the DLC's main gameplay mode – the Euro 2012 tournament itself. You can choose to play as any team in the competition, but if your team didn't qualify, they can easily be substituted for any nation that did. Out comes Spain; in goes Scotland. The mode is as straightforward as the competition itself: 3 group games and 3 knock-out games are all that stands between you and the coveted trophy. Injuries and cards are obviously more of a concern in a tournament situation. It's exactly what you'd expect it to be, and once you've lifted the cup, which is mildly satisfying, it's unlikely that you'll keep reliving the campaign.
Something a little bit different for the FIFA series is Expedition, in which you're confronted by what looks like a map of Europe, torn from the pages of a fantasy novel. But instead of dragons, here be repetitive games of football. You start out with a team composed of one player of your choice and a ragtag bunch of middling reserves drawn from low-ranking European nations. From within groups, you're able to 'attack' nations by playing a typical game of football.
The spoils of war are incremental: defeat a nation once, and you'll be offered one of their reserve team player; beat them again, and you can take one of their subs; win a third time, and you get the opportunity to snatch one of their starting eleven. But the rewards don't just improve the quality of your team; you also get the opportunity to build new roads across Europe, connecting you with previously-inaccessible nations. But if you lose games, the roads are sometimes destroyed, isolating your team and impeding your quest for European domination.
The aim, of course, is to end up with a map of Europe threaded with a dense network of roads and the ultimate European dream-team. But perhaps the most baffling of prizes awarded for a victory is a 'mosaic' piece. Every team has 3 mosaic pieces to earn, each one a photo of that nation's team in action. To collect them all you have to play and win 159 games. It's a ludicrously-weak incentive to keep slogging away at Expedition mode, and it's almost unthinkable that anyone will persevere to the point of completion. It's really difficult to regard the mosaic gimmick as anything but cynical padding, and the same goes for Expedition mode itself. Although it may represent itself as a game of strategy and tactics, it's really not much more than a seemingly-interminable fixture schedule.

The Verdict
The price-point of UEFA Euro 2012 places it at the high-end of downloadable content, and simply it doesn&#Array;t offer enough to justify this weighty price-tag. When you think that once upon a time it may have been released as a standalone boxed title, it seems like a steal &#Array; an act of forward-thinking generosity made possible by digital distribution. But when it sits on digital shelves alongside the likes of the delightfully frustrating Fez and the rapturous Journey (both of which cost less), it can&#Array;t but help look unreasonably priced. Saying that, the core gameplay remains great, yet that&#Array;s because it&#Array;s indistinguishable from FIFA 12 - a game that came out 8 months ago. You&#Array;re paying a premium for authenticity, lent to the game by the official branding of the tournament, not for something that transforms the experience.
If you&#Array;re a football obsessive or a stickler for the real thing, UEFA Euro 2012 is probably worth grafting onto your existing copy of FIFA 12. But for many, the same experience can easily be approximated by playing the game they already own with a through-ball from their imagination.

Russell Crowe Rides Onto 'Robin Hood' Set
Russell Crowe and costar Kevin Durand (pictured below) shoot new scenes for the much-anticiapted movie, Robin Hood on Tuesday (June 16) in Wales, which borders England.
The Ridley Scott-directed blockbuster, which also stars Cate Blanchett as Maid Marian, has taken over much of a Pembrokeshire beach with a cast and crew of over 800, plus 130 horses.
Robin Hood is set to be completed by August for a wide release in 2010.

Workshop and Webcast to Explore Advances in Instrumentation, Metrology, and Analytical Methods
(September 28, 2009—Arlington, VA) As part of the National Nanotechnology Initiative's (NNI) ongoing strategy to coordinate nanotechnology-related environmental, health, and safety research (EHS) research, experts from industry, academia, and the Federal Government will come together for a two day workshop to explore current research on the environmental implications of nanotechnology, as well as the latest developments in instrumentation, metrology, and analytical methods. Nanomaterials and the Environment & Instrumentation, Metrology, and Analytical Methods is the second workshop in the NNI's three-part, nanoEHS series.
"This workshop marks another step forward in our commitment to advancing EHS research, consistent with the NNI vision of building a future in which the ability to understand and control matter at the nanoscale leads to a revolution in technology and industry that benefits society. One of our main goals is to support responsible nanotechnology development," said Dr. Clayton Teague, Director of the National Nanotechnology Coordination Office.
Dr. Teague added that this workshop, as part of the nanoEHS series, is a key component of the overall NNI adaptive management strategy. "This workshop will provide one of the regular assessments of the state of EHS research called for in the 2008 document, Strategy for Nanotechnology-Related Environmental, Health, and Safety Research, and will provide essential information to better understand the evolving needs and priorities of this dynamic field."
The workshop is sponsored by the Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and Technology (NSET) Subcommittee and is coordinated by the Nanotechnology Environmental and Health Implications (NEHI) Working Group.
The workshop will cover two over-arching research need tracks: (1) Nanomaterials and the Environment and (2) Instrumentation, Metrology, & Analytical Methods. The specific goals of this workshop are to:
- Build dialogue and strengthen collaborations
- Discuss the state of the science to assess the progress made and to identify prioritized gaps and emerging trends as related in the National Nanotechnology Initiative's Strategy for Nanotechnology-related Environmental Health and Safety Research
- Relate progress and next steps to adaptively manage this strategy
Stakeholders will share knowledge about research progress and chart a path forward to address research needs in this vital area.
Since it began, the NNI has promoted research to study the potential EHS impacts of nanotechnology. All told, government agencies participating in the NNI have invested at least $254 million on research related to environmental, health, and safety concerns between 2005 and 2009.
For FY 2010, $88 million has been requested for the primary purpose of understanding and addressing potential risks of nanotechnology to health, safety and the environment. This includes studies funded by several agencies examining the potential toxicity of nanomaterials to humans and the environment, as well as developing and communicating safe practices for handling nanomaterials in the workplace. The FY 2010 EHS funding does not include substantial research in other NNI program component areas that are also vital to learning more about the potential risks of nanotechnology. Based on a sampling of EHS research funded in FY 2006, if all related research was included, current funding figures for EHS research would be as much as 60 percent higher.
The workshop will be held October 6-7 at the Holiday Inn Rosslyn at Key Bridge, 1900 N Fort Meyer Drive, Arlington, Va., 22209.

Voting districts for seats on the Craven County Board of Commissioners have been changed for the first time in 20 years.
Voting districts for seats on the Craven County Board of Commissioners have been changed for the first time in 20 years.
After hearing from two county residents Monday, commissioners passed a resolution approving the new district maps, which were drawn by the board in multiple sessions over nearly a year with the help of a Fairfax, Va., mapping consultant and a Greensboro elections law expert.
The resolution, which the board approved on a 5-2 vote along party lines, states the new district plan remedies �substantial inequality of population among the electoral districts of Craven County.�
The new district maps will be in effect for the 2014 election.
The new plan creates seven commissioner districts that contain between 14,582 and 14,997 residents. Each new district has a maximum 1.43 percent deviation from the one man, one vote requirement. A deviation of plus or minus 5 percent is considered acceptable.
In the Havelock area, District 5, currently represented by Theron McCabe, includes eastern Craven County, including Cherry Branch and Harlowe, as well as Cherry Point and parts of Havelock east of McCotter Boulevard.
District 6, represented by Lee K. Allen, includes the heart of Havelock from McCotter Boulevard to Slocum Road.
District 7, represented by Steve Tyson, includes Lake Road, Greenville Heights Boulevard, Tucker Creek, Carolina Pines and Stately Pines.
The maps are online at www.cravencounty.com by clicking on The Boards tab.
The two residents� comments came during an additional public hearing that commissioners scheduled following the U.S. Supreme Court decision that eliminated the preclearance requirement in the 1965 Voting Rights Act under which the new plan was drafted and would have been further scrutinized.
Neither of those speaking Monday expressed concern about minority representation, which would have been the focus of a Justice Department review, however.
Instead, Dover Mayor John Wetherington applauded the plan�s fairness in not splitting up District 2 towns and communities, while a Fairfield Harbour resident expressed concern that her street wasn�t on the new District 1 map.
Allen said his street name couldn�t be seen without further magnification, either.
The maps are posted online at cravencounty.com, and the board had staff pull down the screens and pull up maps to show that her community is in the new plan in its same district with her street labeled.
McCabe and District 3 Commissioner Johnnie Sampson, who cast both dissenting votes against the maps following the previous public hearing, continued to express reservations about the new district maps.
Board Chairman Scott Dacey pointed out that �there are a higher number of African-Americans in these districts than in your old (current) districts. We did everything we could to preserve them.�
District 5, which McCabe currently represents, has 22.7 percent African-American voters compared to 23.9 percent in the newly drawn district, and District 3 keeps a majority of black voters with 53.5 percent, compared to 51.1 percent in the current district Sampson represents.
Neither man expressed concern during the planning process until the sixth draft, which barely affected their districts.
McCabe and Sampson, both registered Democrats, voted against the new plan Monday, which was approved on a 5-2 vote. All five Republican commissioners voted in favor of the plan, even though, as Commissioner Jeff Taylor said, five of the seven new districts include Democratic majorities.
Taylor said he feared the dissent by McCabe and Sampson gave a false sense of how hard the board worked to be fair.
�I don�t know how we could have drawn these districts any better,� he said.
Previous attempts by other boards to redraw districts that, in some cases, have more than twice as many people as others, had either not found agreement or had not passed Justice Department preclearance.
The most recent prior attempt was in 2001 when the plan did not get preclearance, and commissioners decided to simply have all commissioners elected from their own district. In the previous voting method, District 3 and District 5 faced only registered voters in their districts while all others faced voters countywide.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
Pteridaceae are one of the largest fern families, comprising over 1000 species (~10% of extant ferns). But even more notable than their species richness is the remarkable morphological and ecological diversity of the family, which includes obligate epiphytes, free-floating aquatics, brackish-swamp dwellers, several clades specialized for colonizing rocky deserts, and many generalist understory species. While some of these life forms do appear in other fern lineages (many other families, for example, contain epiphytes), most are rare and no other fern family contains such a wide range of ecological specializations.
Pteridaceae have been the subject of much taxonomic disagreement—their members have been distributed among at least 20 different families: Acrostichaceae; Actiniopteridaceae; Adiantaceae; Anopteraceae; Antrophyaceae; Bommeriaceae; Ceratopteridaceae; Cheilanthaceae; Coniogrammaceae; Crytopgrammaceae; Hemionitidaceae; Llaveaceae; Negripteridaceae; Notholaenaceae; Parkeriaceae; Platyzomataceae; Pteridaceae; Sinopteridaceae; Taenitidaceae; and Vittariaceae (Smith et al. 1996; Hassler and Swale, 2003). Some of these former family designations (e.g., Llaveaceae, Parkeriaceae, and Vittariaceae) correspond to monophyletic groups now known to be nested within the broader Pteridaceae, while others (e.g., Taenitidaceae) are assemblages of more distantly related species (Schuettpelz et al., 2007).

Legacy of Stevens T. Mason, Michigan's 'boy governor,' explored in new biography
courtesy of the University of Michigan Press
Without Mason, said Faber, Michigan might be missing its Upper Peninsula, the Soo Locks might never have been built, and the University of Michigan might not occupy a fair-sized chunk of Ann Arbor.
"He's such a pivotal figure in early Michigan history," Faber said.
In 1831, Mason was named Secretary of the Michigan Territory at the age of 19, two years before he could even vote and the youngest presidential appointee in American history. After championing the territory's successful push for statehood without congressional authorization, he would defend his new state's border in defiance of the country's political elite and then orchestrate its expansion—all before his official election as Michigan's first governor at age 24, the youngest chief executive in any state's history.
"He set in place so many institutions that we have today," Faber said. "In one remarkable year he led the fight for statehood, prosecuted that war with Ohio (that resulted in Michigan getting much of the Upper Peninsula in exchange for the so-called Toledo Strip), helped to write the first constitution—a very progressive and liberal document for that time—banned slavery, called for the first superintendent of public instruction, and also managed to get himself fired for insubordination by President Jackson (for his actions) in the Toledo affair. Then, one month later, at the age of 24, he got himself elected the first governor of Michigan"
The Mason biography came out late last year, published by the University of Michigan Press, to roughly coincide with Mason's 200th birthday. He died from pneumonia at age 31 in 1843, however he lived long enough to see the U-M relocated from Detroit to Ann Arbor and he was on the board of regents ex-officio, Faber said. Mason Hall on the U-M campus is named after him, as is the city of Mason, Mich.
A former editor and columnist for The Ann Arbor News, Faber's previous book with the University of Michigan Press, "The Toledo War," was named a Notable New Book by the Michigan Library Association in 2009 and was also named first-prize winner in history writing by the Michigan Historical Society.
Faber said Mason never liked being referred to as the boy governor.
"It was a term that was fixed on him at the time, and it was a term he really disliked. But he had to learn to live with it. In fact it was the editor of one of the two Ann Arbor papers at the time who stuck that term on him. He disliked it so much, so the story goes, that he met (the editor) on the streets of Detroit once, and punched him out."
Faber said it's not that much of a stretch to think of Mason as the father of the University of Michigan. "It was Mason who all along, in his governorship, was calling for a state university that would be the 'ornament and honor of the west," he said. "This would be an institution that would be 'unparalleled in the land.'
Oddly enough, Faber even had some alone time with the boy governor, or at least his remains, when the body was exhumed in 2010 so the city of Detroit could revamp the downtown Capitol Park, where Mason is buried.
"I asked permission from the funeral home (I asked) could I come and see the boy governor. I'm a historian, a scholar, not some ghoul, and they said 'sure come on down.'" Faber recalled.
"I had some time with the open casket - there was a fully intact skeleton and a molar. To me, that was very meaningful, to have a glimpse into history. I only had 10-15 minutes but it was enough for me to kind of drift back in time."
Although Faber said Mason died in disgrace due to the difficult economic situation his program of building roads, canals and railroads caused Michigan during the financial panic of 1837, the passage of time has clearly burnished his image.
"A century later, I think he's among Michigan's foremost statesmen and women," said Faber. "After Lewis Cass, probably it would be Mason. And even though Cass has the place of honor in statuary hall in Congress, Mason has a place of honor all his own in downtown Detroit at Capitol Park."
Don Faber will talk about Mason and sign copies of the book at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 24 at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library, as well as on March 14, at 4 p.m., at the William L. Clements Library. Both are on the University of Michigan campus.

Don Faber's book on the Michigan/Ohio dispute was an excellent local history. Well written and documented, it opens a window on to the earliest days of our state. This new book is definitely on my "must read" list. It's fascinating to delve into to the history of our state and see the origin of things we take for granted today. So many things have changed, an surprisingly enough, so many haven't.

I enjoyed Don Faber's very informative book about the Toledo war and the emergence of Michigan as a state. I look forward to this one about Stevens T. Mason. The Michigan Central Railroad line from Ypsi to KZoo will soon be owned by the state of Michigan. This was one of the internal developments Mason promoted but work on it was truncated by the Panic of 1837. Michigan will need a name for its railroad. What about calling it the Stevens T. Mason Line?
Thu, Jan 17, 2013 : 4:43 a.m.
Don Faber. I'm just wondering? Did you disclose that "Young Hotspur" and "The Stripling" was the scion of a powerful Virginia family? He was once an Andy Jackson favorite. What about Jackson's appointment of John ("Little Jack") Horner as Michigan Territorial Governor because of Steven's action during the Toledo War? Did you disclose that? Did you write of the "Frostbite Convention," convened in Ann Arbor, where it was agreed to give-up our claim to the "Toledo Strip" in exchange for the U.P? Later the dude departed Michigan and died in New York City, a victim of pneumonia. It was not until 1905 that his bones were brought to Deetroit. If you omitted any of these facts from your biography, then it is seriously flawed. Inquiring Minds should like to ken! Speak Up Don!!!

1968 Tatra T603 2.5 air cooled V8 from Australia and New Zealand
Flash Gordon's Cadillac!
I accidentally overtightened a carburettor screw once, which led to a gasoline leak, soaking the engine block. That was an expensive repair, requiring towing of the vehicle and re-cutting the screw mount.
Starting was often hard for no discernible reason.
An electric glitch leeched out battery power, without hope of ever finding the problem, but regular driving would keep the battery alive well enough.
General Comments:
It is amazing to think this car was designed in 1955, as it seems so competent in every respect.
Seating is excellent for six adults, and ventilation is adequate.
Steering is surprisingly light and precise.
Braking is very good and steady for a car that age.
The V8 engine sound is delightful, yet unobtrusive.
This is a wonderful cruiser and tourer.
Acceleration is glacial though, and it is hard to keep the car moving in hilly topography, because the electro-hydraulic column shift transmission is slow and long-geared, and can be tricky to handle. The driver must get in a habit of gearing down very early, maintaining a high level of RPMs that can seem a bit brutal to the uninitiated, to avoid slowing to a crawl on highway inclines.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
Review Date: 27th October, 2010

MiLB.com honors Black History Month
It took about five years for the Minors to follow Jackie Robinson's lead
By Jonathan Mayo / MLB.com | February 1, 2006 5:26 AM
When the calendar turned to 1950 in the United States, the country had little idea of the monumental changes it was about to undergo in the coming decade and beyond. The Supreme Court had yet to strike down separate-but-equal as unconstitutional and the Civil Rights movement was barely in its infancy.
Major League Baseball had been ahead of just about everyone when Jackie Robinson joined the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. By 1950, however, only four other big-league teams (including the Boston Braves, who did so in April 1950) had followed the Dodgers' lead.
Minor League Baseball moved at a slightly slower speed. Obviously, the International League trumped everyone (in the 20th century) with the inclusion of Robinson in Montreal during the 1946 season. The leagues in the South, not surprisingly, lagged behind the big leagues even further. It took at least five years after Robinson moved to Brooklyn for many of the leagues to break the color barrier.
That delay can be looked at in two different ways. On one hand, it took too long for many of these Minor Leagues -- some of which are long since defunct -- to fall in step with Major League Baseball. These leagues, it could be argued, gave in to local pressures more than they should have. On the other, these leagues integrated by 1954. Considering the Brown vs. Board of Education decision wasn't handed down until May of that year and that Rosa Parks' bus refusal in Montgomery, Ala., was still a year away, in many ways these leagues were somewhat ahead of schedule.
"The thesis always was that baseball integration, especially in the South, played a role in the integration of the rest of the country," said Bruce Adelson, author of Brushing Back Jim Crow: The Integration of Minor League Baseball in the American South, the seminal work on the subject. "Integration of Minor League Baseball is not something that's widely thought of. Most things are oriented to the big leagues."
"Baseball was really paving the way," agreed Jules Tygiel, author of Baseball's Great Experiment: Jackie Robinson and His Legacy. "Most other institutions were barely even thinking about it, but baseball was thinking about it quite a lot, pushing integration into the South."
In the end, several factors contributed to the integration of leagues in the southern United States. There were fairly strong economic pressures to add African-American players. In some instances, a local community's boycott made integration key to survival. It wasn't all monetary, however, as some owners integrated to field a better team and a few even broke free of Southern prejudices because they felt it was the right thing to do.
Jackie Robinson's impact
By the 1950s, Robinson had entrenched himself as one of the stars of the National League. His role as pioneer and his ability to perform at the highest level clearly served as a tremendous example not only for other African-American baseball players, but for the country at large.
The impact didn't necessarily filter down to the South, where segregation and separate-but-unequal still ruled the land. As leagues below the Mason-Dixon line began to slowly integrate, players had obvious respect for what Robinson was doing, though it sometimes felt that he and his accomplishments were a world away.
Ed Charles spent nearly a decade in the Minor Leagues, much of it in the South, before joining the Kansas City Athletics in 1962 and eventually winning a World Series with the 1969 Mets. He told Adelson that he and many other Minor Leaguers in the South were "Robinson's disciples." But while Charles and others were trying to follow in Robinson's path, they didn't see Robinson's experiences as helping them in North Carolina, Georgia or Alabama.
Al Israel, who helped integrate the South Atlantic League with Hank Aaron in 1953, often saw the Major Leaguers breeze through the South on barnstorming trips. While they were in town for just one day, he told Adelson, black Minor League players in the South had to live that existence every day.
"What Jackie Robinson is doing in Brooklyn is wonderful, but it doesn't help me," Israel told Adelson.
Barriers come down
Minor League segregation in the South ended slowly, beginning in 1951. Barriers came down in Texas, Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina. Northern teams weren't exactly far ahead of their Southern counterparts, though some did help pave the way by bringing the first black players to the South.
Jim Pendleton (St. Paul Saints) and Ray Dandridge (Minneapolis Millers) were the first black players to play against the Louisville Colonels in the American Association in 1949. A year later, Willie Mays broke the barrier in the Class B Interstate League when his Trenton Giants traveled to Maryland to play the Hagerstown Braves.
By 1951, some teams in the South were ready to integrate. The Lamesa Lobos signed J.W. Wingate in the Class C West Texas-New Mexico League early in the 1951 season. In August, Percy Miller Jr. joined the Danville Leafs, officially integrating the Carolina League. Both players' tenures -- and careers in organized baseball -- were short-lived. The 23-year-old Wingate was released by the Lobos before the end of May.
"Although he batted a respectable .250 for the Lobos," Adelson wrote, "Wingate did not instantly manifest the star qualities expected of African-American ballplayers who crossed southern minor-league color lines. Many believed, with some justification, that white fans, already discomfited by the prospect of watching blacks and whites playing interractial baseball, would have their angst salved only by the opportunity to watch the best African-American althletes available ... Countless black ballplayers in the 1950s faced this same reality."
Miller Jr. certainly did. A kid not long out of high school signed with his hometown team -- the Danville Leafs -- breaking the color line in Virginia and in the Carolina League. He played 19 games at the end of the 1951 season and that winter the Leafs released him. That ended the Carolina League's experiment and Miller's career. There wasn't another black player in the league until 1953.
Too often in these early integration stories, the time was too brief, the pressure too great, the racism too overt for young players like Miller to get a fair chance at proving he belonged. When Miller joined the Leafs, he was given a size 48 shirt and size 46 pants, told by the equipment manager that it was the only uniform available. Miller saw it differently, thinking it was a racially based snub.
"Here I was a [sic] 31 inches in the waist," Miller Jr. told The Roanoke Times in 1997. "It fit me like a bathrobe."
Also in 1951, the Granite Falls Graniteers in the Class D Western Carolina League signed three black players to become the first team in North Carolina to integrate, though a lack of official statistics from that time make it more difficult to confirm.
None of these players went on to stardom at any level of professional baseball, and while many of them were "firsts," it's unlikely many of them felt they were making history.
"I didn't think I was a trailblazer," Miller Jr. said in that 1997 interview at age 65. "I figured Jackie had done the job. And everybody who followed along after had him to thank."

Next Meetup
What we're about
Welcome to Züri eXpats Hike & Outdoor!
Let's get into gear and see more of Switzerland. We know the best places and trails
Summer hikes all over Switzerland for all levels.
Rafting in the greatest canyons you will ever find.
Horse riding in the Montafon Valley national park.
Paragliding over the Alps like an eagle.
And Zurich offers quality of life that can't be beat. It has a lake with pure, clear water surrounded by hills and is very close to many scenic mountains.
About the Züri eXpats
Earlier this year, our parent Meetup group Züri eXpats grew by leaps and bounds, thanks to a motley crew of savvy social butterflies and oodles of volunteer help. As this group expanded and merged with another popular Meetup group, it chose to capitalize & focus on a winning formula for certain events and locations. This left our members without a creative outlet to experiment with their OWN event ideas.
Thus the Sandbox was developed, as an inspired and evolving entity BY & FOR our current Züri eXpats members.
We are alive and kicking... here is a summary of our activities.
This past year we organized a variety of professional, social, and cultural meetups, also planning numerous social gatherings around international highlights in Zurich. We did over 240 events in and around Zurich, and all over Switzerland.
Our highly qualified fellow expat Sandbox members will be there for:
◉ Runs along the lake, starting at Chinagarten: Exercise with your peers and enjoy life in Zurich.
◉ Bike around Lake/ Limmat river: The best places to bike are not obvious!
◉ Hike in the Canton of Zurich and in the surrounding mountains: We'll show you the best trails and breathtaking views.
◉ Visit interesting objects in the Canton of ZH: Ladies , we give you a insight how to get all invitations to all great paces.
◉ Swim and sail around the lake: We offer possibilities to sail with us.
From basic to advanced, from general to sector related… Just bring an idea for an event!
We do a lot with our four Meetup groups: Züri eXpats City Life Network, Züri eXpats Business Professionals, Züri eXpats Hike & Outdoor , and Zurich Movie Fans. Altogether we have over 20 000 highly educated members that contribute to 60% of the economic output of the Canton of Zurich.
Züri eXpats also participates in social and semi-political events that help contribute awareness and promote integration of expats in Zurich (http://www.integration.zh.ch/internet/justiz_inneres/integration/de/home.html). We contribute positively to the Swiss lifestyle as well, and work in cooperation with our partners in the integration offices at both the city and cantonal level.
We look forward to meeting you at one of our upcoming events, to attend and contribute to the experience…whether you are Swiss or an Ausländer.
Volunteers WANTED
We have ambitious plans including new activities & VIP venues for our members this year. It is our intention to have a full range of events throughout the week that cater to everyone's interests.
If you are interested in being part of the team that makes it all happen, you can be a volunteer. If you help us with five events, you will be a premium member for the year and belong to all four Züri eXpats platforms. If you are too busy, you can also show us your support with €20 per annum as a member of the four platforms.
Please sign up as volunteer today and don't forget to RSVP for tonight's event!
We have an international staff of energetic and enthusiastic volunteers that will make you feel welcome at ALL of our events.
Our goal >> The Züri eXpats strives to be a safe, welcoming and open platform for the creative exploration of new Meetup event ideas and formats, by and for our members. Grow your inner event planner! We'll provide you with feedback and guidance, and help foster your event ideas. We may even promote your event on our other social media platforms – Meetup, Facebook, LinkedIn, Xing, etc.
Here are some basic guidelines:
1) Become a member.
2) Shoot us a quick email on what type of event you'd like to create. We'll give you some constructive feedback (if needed) for quick changes and tips to improve your event concept.
3) Once we green-light your project, we'll make you an event host. This will allow you to immediately create your very own Meetup event.
4) By creating quality, recurring events with increasing numbers of attendees and positive feedback, we will lend our marketing muscle to your cause by cross-promoting your event(s) on our other social platforms – Meetup, Facebook, LinkedIn, Xing, etc. In addition, we could create "Züri eXpats co-branded marketing materials" such as flyers and banners, which will further grow your event ideas beyond what any one person could do on their own.
5) For those event planners that show promise, rest assured that we'll have our eyes on YOU! If you are up to the challenge, we may invite you to become one of our main group's planning committee members, which has its own perks and privileges :)
Please note: This group is an extension of our other Meetup group, Züri eXpats. You can sign up for this other group for updates on our regularly planned social events.
We look forward to helping you grow your ideas in the Sandbox in 2013 and beyond!
John Wubbe
President of Züri eXpats

It's not surprising the son of Alicia Keys and mega producer Swizz Beatz would want to follow in their footsteps; It is surprising that Egypt Daoud is already on his way to being a musician and philanthropist.
"He's on the drums," Swizz, 33, told PEOPLE Thursday at Keep a Child Alive's Black Ball, hosted by Keys, the organization's global ambassador.
"He's messing with the piano — [Alicia's] practicing and he comes in and adds a couple keys. It's fun."
Although the proud father insists the couple would support any of 1-year-old Egypt's future aspirations — musical or not — Swizz and Keys are more intent on raising a charitable child.
"For him to be able to see what happens in the world and be able to see different cultures and people and happenings — I think it opens your mind wide up," says Keys, 30, who has included her son in her philanthropic work long before he was born.
"While I was [in Africa] shooting [a documentary for World AIDS Day], I was pregnant. It was so powerful being there … I thought to myself, 'Wow, here he is experiencing this and he's not even here yet,'" she recalls.
The songstress hopes Egypt will, one day, find his own cause to support.
"I think as a compassionate person, which I really want to teach him to be, you naturally want to lend and be a part of change," Keys explains. "I know that naturally he'll find the thing that he's passionate about and wants to change."
Part of grooming him to be giving is keeping the gifts in their house under control.
"His birthday came [last month] and there are like a hundred, billion, trillion thousand gifts," she laughs. "That can't happen for Christmas. I need to figure this out now because he's not going to be this terror 5-year-old child [shouting], 'Give me!'"

Denial of service attacks against the Domain Name System increased by 170 percent from 2011 to 2012, according to a recent analysis of security trends, but despite this growth little has been done to guard against them.
DNS is a ubiquitous and promiscuous service that underlies much of the Internet's functions, mapping domain names to numerical IP addresses and relying on open, stateless protocols that have made it an easy target for DOS attacks.
Effective defense will require imposing rules for the types and numbers of queries and connections DNS servers will accept, said Carl Herberger, vice president of security solutions at Radware.
"The technology is out there, but it is not common," said Herberger, who participated in the study. To date, the common response to denial of service attacks against DNS has been overprovisioning capacity. But at some point this method becomes ineffective, as the number and sophistication of attacks increases. "We've gotten to that point," he said.
The increase in DNS attacks was noted in Radware's Global Application & Network Security Report for 2012. Although DNS attacks are not new, their use has grown over the past two years because the attacks bypass defenses against traditional distributed DOS attacks that overwhelm network resources with high volumes of malicious traffic. DNS is a different type of network service because it relies on stateless protocols that can be used to deliver attacks without establishing connections and it is open to unqualified or unauthorized queries. And because a small query can generate a much larger response, attacks can be highly asymmetrical.
In August 2012, an eight-hour DNS DDOS attack against AT&T took down the company's site and disrupted access to customers on AT&T's network. An attack against Internet domain name registrar GoDaddy in November took down domains using its DNS service.
The U.S. government has been a leader in advancing DNS security, and the Office of Management and Budget mandated the deployment of the DNS Security Extensions on .gov domains by 2010. As of Jan. 22, 76 percent of tested government domains had DNSSEC operational, according to the National Institute of Standards and Technology. This is not complete compliance, but it is far ahead of the 1 percent of tested private-sector domains that are using DNSSEC.
Unfortunately, even wider use of DNSSEC would not solve the latest threat, Herberger said. "It never was designed to prevent denial of service attacks," but rather to protect the integrity of responses to DNS queries threatened by cache poisoning attacks. "The potential problem with cache poisoning hasn't materialized."
The change in threat requires a change in defenses, imposing rules on traditionally open, unquestioning DNS servers. The number and type of queries accepted could be defined and limited, and servers could challenge queries to determine if they exhibit malicious behavior. The challenge could consist of something as simple as dropping a first query and waiting to see if it is repeated and in what time. The timing of a second query could help indicate if it is being generated by a bot.
This could be done with a minimum of overhead and delay, Herberger said, and could be cheaper and more effective than overprovisioning.

In addition to the ineffectiveness against advanced DNS attacks, overprovisioning has also economical (increase O&M cost and complexity) and technical (increase of cache miss rate/latency on recursive servers) drawbacks. DNS specific firewall solutions with DNS query type based rate limiting can help providing the fine-grained control over DNS traffic recommended by the article.

Cards, Giants cap series at AT&T Park
Matt Cain hopes to follow up on a solid season-opening performance when he takes the mound Sunday for the San Francisco Giants in the rubber match of a three-game set versus St. Louis.
Cain faces the Cardinals for the first time since Game 7 of the NLCS. In that contest, Cain pitched 5 2/3 shutout innings in San Francisco's 9-0 victory. During regular season play, Cain is 2-3 with a 4.94 ERA in eight games against the Cardinals.
On Monday, Cain fanned eight and scattered four hits over six scoreless frames in San Francisco's 4-0 road loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Adam Wainwright, who won Game 4 of the 2012 NLCS, counters for the Cardinals. Wainwright, who signed a new five-year contract worth close to $100 million in the offseason, gave up 11 hits and four runs -- three earned -- in six innings of a season-opening loss to the Diamondbacks Monday.
Wainwright has a 2-4 mark with a 3.04 ERA in eight games (6 starts) in the regular season against the Giants. He's 1-4 with a 4.11 ERA in his career at AT&T Park.
In Saturday's contest, Pete Kozma went 3-for-4 with an RBI and Carlos Beltran had two hits and three RBI to lead St. Louis to a 6-3 win.
Matt Carpenter had two hits, plated one run and scored two runs and Matt Holliday had one hit and RBI for St. Louis, which evened the best of three series.
"It's a good team. We have a good lineup," Beltran said. "We have guys from top to bottom that can do the job."
Shelby Miller (1-0), who made just his second career start, tossed 5 1/3 solid innings, giving up two runs and four walks on four hits while striking out four in the victory.
Hunter Pence and Pablo Sandoval each hit solo home runs for the Giants, who saw starter Ryan Vogelsong (0-1) allow five runs on nine hits and strike out six over 5 1/3 innings.
Mitchell Boggs secured the win in the ninth with his first save of the season.
"We're not quite clicking offensively, but we stayed in the game and had a good couple chances there," San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. "You always go with the history and track record of these guys. They're getting into the flow of things."
The Cardinals split their six matchups with the Giants last season. However, St. Louis hasn't won a season series against them since it took four of five during the 2006 season.
