Abiyoyo and Other Story Songs for Children is a retitled reissue of Pete Seeger's 1958 children's album Sleep-Time: Songs & Stories. Although the new title emphasizes the prominence of the story-song "Abiyoyo," one of Seeger's best-loved works, it is technically inaccurate, since the album contains only one other story-song; the other tracks are just songs. That other story-song, the leadoff track, is "Sam, the Whaler," a simple if adventurous tale of a boy who goes to sea on a whaling ship, sailing down the Hudson River from Beacon, NY (Seeger's home) and out into the Atlantic, catching some whales, and then returning home. "Abiyoyo," which to some observers has potentially autobiographical import, is the story of a boy with a ukulele and a father with magical powers who, while initially ostracized by their community, later are welcomed back after they charm and dispatch a monster. Side two features child-oriented songs including the add-on number "Green Grass Grows All Around," with its many repetitions, concluding with the lengthy, seemingly improvised a cappella song "One Grain of Sand." The sleep-inducing function of the disc is accentuated by the long, slow fade-outs on each of the two LP sides. "Abiyoyo" gives way to an extended low-volume coda, and "One Grain of Sand" is repetitious and nearly trance-inducing. [The album eventually was reissued as a CD, which, with its continuous play, tends to defeat the fade-out of the first side, as the quietude of the "Abiyoyo" coda is suddenly followed by the louder and more energetic "Sweet Little Baby." For this reason, parents might want to consider programming their CD players to re-sequence the tracks or just stop after "Abiyoyo."] ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi

MAHA CREEK. Maha Creek, also called Mayhard or Mayhew Creek, rises just north of Creedmoor in southern Travis County (at 30°04' N, 97°46' W). It runs northeast for twenty-seven miles to its mouth on Cedar Creek, ten miles west of Bastrop in Bastrop County (at 30°05' N, 97°30' W). The surrounding terrain is flat to rolling prairie, with local shallow depressions; clay and sandy loams support mesquite, cacti, and grasses in the upper reaches of the creek, and water-tolerant hardwoods and conifers in the lower reaches.
The following, adapted from the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition, is the preferred citation for this article."MAHA CREEK," Handbook of Texas Online (http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/rbm33), accessed July 04, 2015.

Kent Allen, D.V.M., currently focuses on top-level sports medicine, lameness, and diagnostic imaging in private practice. He has maintained a long-term relationship with the United Stated Equestrian Federation (USEF) and the Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI), concentrating primarily on medication issues. Horses competing in FEI-sanctioned events are the most scrutinized athletes--including humans--in the world, according to Allen.
Top-tier equine athletes often require medication to stay in competitive form. Not all medications should be thought of as performance-enhancing. Allen pointed to gastric ulcers as an example of a man-made condition that is hard to avoid, based on the transitory and confined lives these horses often endure. Hives, in response to new bedding, is another example of an ailment that requires medication. Administration of medication, however, must be accomplished under strict guidelines
Allen provided an overview of the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, "natural" supplements such as valerian root, nutritional supplements, and contaminated feed.
Substances are divided into three groups: prohibited, restricted, and unrestricted. Permitted substances include antifungal, antiprotozoal, antiulcer, and antiparasitic agents as well as antibiotics. Also allowed are vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, and hormonal products for mares so long as they are given for therapeutic reasons.
Forbidden substances are those that might affect performance or might interfere with testing. Drugs that affect performance include psychotropics, stimulants, depressants, tranquilizers, and local anesthetics. Psycotrophic medications are particularly dangerous with unpredictable side effects. Corticosteroids and anabolic steroids are forbidden substances. Legitimate use of prohibited substances is possible as long as certain, though strict, criteria are met.
Differences between the USEF and FEI medication programs were described by Allen.
Allen differentiated between detection times and withdrawal times after drug administration. Detection times do not include a suitable margin of safety, a time period that is necessary to account for individual responses to medications. Withdrawal times include this margin of safety.

The Craythorne claims another wedding victim
Posted: February 08, 2013|
A DEVASTATED bride-to-be said she feel like "her life has finished" after her wedding venue went into administration.
The fallout from The Craythorne, in Rolleston, going into administration continued yesterday as another couple's wedding plans were thrown into chaos.
Fulltime mum of six Emma Baker, 28, and Ken Hassent, 53, a redundant computer engineer, had planned the wedding of a lifetime, with the ceremony, breakfast and reception booked at the Craythorne Road venue for June 8.
The couple, of Derby Road, Burton, have been engaged three years since they began dating ten years ago.
But their wedding plans, which included an £850 deposit at for the venue, £600 spent on invites and £959 on the dress, were thrown in jeopardy on Monday when it was announced the venue's owners had called in administrators.
Emma said: "I'm devastated.
"I've just shaking and crying all day.
"Even if we get the deposit back we can't get anywhere else.
"I feel like my life has finished and that's not going over the top.
"We have been saving up for the last ten years and it has gone down the pan."
Emma said they can't afford to change the wedding date as they have already paid the deposit for a limousine and booked registrars.
The couple, who were left homeless for six months after their house was gutted in a blaze last May, said they hoped to make a fresh start in 2013.
Emma said: "Everything has gone down hill ever since.
"We are looking at thousands of pounds we have lost."
Ken, who was also hospitalised after a serious bout of pneumonia over Christmas, said: I don't know how people can get away with it – but there's nothing we can do to rectify it because we don't have the resources."
Andy Knight who runs the restaurant and function facilities at The Craythorne had not responded to a request for a comment by the time of going to press.
Craythorne site owner's statement:
THE site owners at The Craythorne golf club have distanced themselves from the closure of the restaurant and function facilities.
Matthew Wright, director of R Peach and Co, said in a statement: "We would like to point out that The Craythorne business was transferred to Andy Knight in October last year, along with the existing customers on discounted terms. It is his business that has closed.
"R Peach and Co Ltd paid off all suppliers in full before the transfer.
"The driving range will stay open, as will Connors' hairdressers."

Rivals Names Top 10 NCAA Seniors
Kendall Rogers of Rivals.com listed his top 10 Seniors on Monday. This list looks quite a bit like his recent article on returning draftees, but Kendall has some solid notes about each player.
Perhaps the most exciting thing to come out of the countdown is Kendall's new abbreviation for "switch pitcher": SWP. For those not in the know, that references Pat Venditte and the amazing nature of high level ambidexterity. My exuberance is not meant to be dismissive of Kendall's ranking, it's just that you take news when and where you can get it during the August slow season. Kendall does a great job of churning out news and interesting features and the Rivals CBB site is definitely a daily visit, much as the College Baseball Blog hopefully is for all of you.
You can read the countdown here: 10 through 6 and 5 through 1.
On to the countdown:
1. Blake Stouffer – Texas A&M – UT
2. Dominic De la Osa – Vanderbilt – RF
3. Cole St. Claire – Rice – LHP
4. Pat Venditte – Creighton – SWP
5. Joshua Fields – Georgia – RHP
6. Josh Satow – Arizona State – LHP
7. Phil Disher – South Carolina – C
8. Matt Hague – Oklahoma State – 3B
9. Mitch Harris – Navy – RHP
10. Zack Pitts – Louisville – RHP
2007 Cape Cod League Award winners

Russ Ford Award Relief Pitcher– Nick Cassavechia (Baylor)
Manny Robello Award 10th Player- Nate Freiman (Duke)
Daniel J.Silva Award Sportsmanship– Shea Robin (Vanderbilt)
Robert A McNeece Award Pro Prospect- Aaron Crow (Missouri)
Mike Curran Award Manager of the Year– Scott Pickler (Cypress Community College)
PA SportsTicker Playoff MVP- Trevor Holder (Georgia)
John Claffey New England Top Prospect Award- Bill Perry (Hartford)
Curley Clement Umpire Award– Tim Carey (CBUAO)
Commissioner's Cup Team of the Year– Wareham
Rivals.com Rates Top Returning Draftees
Kendall Rogers, Rivals.com's baseball guru, broke down his top 10 players to return to school despite being drafted.
1. Texas OF Kyle Russell
2. Texas A&M Utility Guy Blake Stouffer
3. Vanderbilt OF Dominic De la Osa
4. Rice Closer Cole St. Clair
5. Creighton switch-pitcher Pat Venditte
6. UGA Closer Josh Fields
7. ASU Starter Josh Satow
8. USC Catcher Phil Disher
9. OKState 3B Matt Hague
10. Auburn OF Mike Bianucci
This writer would probably have flipped a couple of these guys around. It's hard to argue with Russell Stouffer and De la Osa; however, a healthy Cole St. Clair could be the difference between Rice swapping a C-USA ring for a College World Series ring.
And I'm happy to see Venditte return. I've not seen him pitch yet, but he's the guy who will throw lefty to one batter and righty to the next.
Read Kendall's breakdown here.
YD wins Cape Cod League Championship Again
The Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox repeated as Cape Cod League Champions in the 2007 season by knocking off the Falmouth Commodores 2-0 to take the Championship in only two games. Both teams received great pitching on Tuesday night as Yarmouth-Dennis starter Trevor Holder (UGA) gave up one hit and struck out ten batters as he picked up the MVP award for the Championship series. The winning run scored on a suicide squeeze by Nick Romero which brought home Buster Posey (FSU) with the first run of the game. The YD Red Sox would bring home another run on a passed ball to set up the final scoreline. Nick Cassavechia (Baylor) worked the ninth inning by working around a double and striking out two batters. CodBall has a recap available here and Right Field Fog also has one available here.

A federal judge in Eastern Missouri has upheld the government mandate that insurance policies cover birth control. Judge Carol E. Jackson ruled that the mandate is not a violation of religious liberty. Religious freedom is "a shield, not a sword," she said, and religious liberty claims cannot be used as a "means to force one's religious practices upon others." Her argument closely aligns with points that the Century made some months ago in an editorial and that I tried to make in a blog post.
First the bishops sought an expanded exemption. Now they claim the contraception mandate itself violates religious liberty. It doesn't.
Shocked in Brooklyn
The exhibit at the Brooklyn Art Museum that has caused a furor in New York and generated reams of material for editorial pages is titled "Sensation." That title offers a good clue about the commercial interests behind the show.
The First Amendment protection of religious freedom is designed not just to protect the religious traditions that the majority of us like or feel comfortable with. It is meant to protect religious traditions that the majority may find strange or objectionable.
The trouble with pregame prayers
Perhaps only natives understand the religion that is Texas high school football. Nevertheless, the U.S. Supreme Court is slated to rule on one of its striking rituals: the pregame invocation. In a case argued before the court last month, Mormon and Catholic families in Galveston County contended that the pregame prayers amount to an unconstitutional government endorsement of religion.
Amendment proposed by Michele Bachmann
The House of Representatives has rejected a proposed amendment that would have allowed military chaplains to close public events with faith-specific prayers.The amendment, offered by Tea Party favorite Rep. Michele Bachmann (R., Minn.) to the Military Construction Authorization Act, was deemed not relevant to the bill, her office said on May 27.
Decision followed three years of student complaints
A federal judge has ruled that a Connecticut school board's decision to hold graduation ceremonies inside a megachurch was unconstitutional. Com mencements for two schools in Enfield—Enfield High School and Enrico Enfermi High School—were to be held at First Cathedral in Bloomfield in late June.

This movie gets a 1 on a scale of 1-10 only because of Micheal Cera. Jack Black has undoubtedly become the least funniest comedian of our generation. This movie seems as if it was written in 1987 and filmed in 2009. And a famous cast of horrible actors, i hope Micheal Ceras career doesnt make a turn for the worse after this dispicabale performance. They even killed Paul Rudd and he could have saved this movie.

Final Score: Montreal 30, British Columbia 25
Montreal, QC (Sports Network) - Brandon Whitaker scored the go-ahead touchdown
in the closing minutes and the Montreal Alouettes held on for a 30-25 win over
the British Columbia Lions Friday at Stade Percival-Molson Stadium.
Whitaker's two-yard touchdown run marked his third major of the game and put
the Alouettes (6-3) ahead with less than four minutes to go, but the Lions
responded with a lengthy drive. They moved to the eight yard line on a 3rd-
and-5 completion from Travis Lulay to Arland Bruce with 53 seconds remaining.
The march stalled there as an incomplete pass and a sack by Ventrell Jenkins
followed before Billy Parker broke up Lulay's pass in the end zone to seal
Montreal's fourth straight win.
"In the end we were in position to win the football game but we came up a play
short," said Lulay.
Anthony Calvillo completed 19-of-31 passes for 321 yards and threw two
touchdown passes to Whitaker, who finished with 64 receiving yards and 48
yards on the ground.
Brian Bratton caught five passes for 91 yards in the victory.
Lulay finished with 275 yards on 24-of-39 passing and tossed a pair of
touchdown strikes to Bruce.
Bruce finished with 76 yards on six catches and Andrew Harris rushed for 56
yards on five carries for the Lions (6-3), who saw their four-game win streak
come to an end.
Both of Whitaker's touchdown receptions came in the first half -- of 12 and 28
yards -- and Sean Whyte added a 37-yard field goal for a 17-11 lead at the
BC, which got a 10-yard touchdown pass from Lulay to Bruce in the first half,
as well as a 46-yard field goal by Paul McCallum and a single, started the
third quarter strong.
Tim Brown was the third-quarter catalyst for the Lions. He returned the
opening kickoff 61 yards to set up McCallum's 36-yard boot, then took a punt
back 56 yards, resulting in a 47-yarder from McCallum and a 17-17 game.
Late in the third, the Alouettes responded with a 72-yard drive and Victor
Anderson capped the march by barreling through a bevy of defenders en route to
a five-yard major.
The Lions opened the fourth with a single before Lulay capped a 56-yard drive
with a short touchdown pass to Bruce for a 25-24 edge.
Whitaker's game-winning major was set up by a pair of long completions by
Lulay. First, the quarterback tossed a strike to Bratton behind the defense
for 42 yards. He then connected with Eric Deslauriers for 26 yards, and
Whitaker found the end zone on the ensuing play.
"It was a battle," said Whitaker. "A typical playoff type game."
Game Notes
Calvillo now has eight straight 300-yard passing games ... Lulay has thrown a
touchdown pass in 20 consecutive games ... The Lions hold a 33-31-1 edge in
the all-time, regular-season series.

Don't know why but I just want to see some black comic characters come together for a decent arc or even form a steady team. I feel like they rarely team up and I'd like to see a good one. Here's the team I've thought of so far. I"m open to suggestions (adding and/ or subrtracting somebody). It was just a random idea I had, here's the line up.
Luke Cage-Leader/Public Face- he's a long time Avenger and runs the Thunderbolts, he brings leadership and a face that is accepted by the public as a hero
Blue Marvel and/or War Machine-Strength-either could be a nice strong man for the team, though I'd prefer Blue Marvel, War Machine is a pretty nice substitute. With both being long time heroes either of which could take over in case Cage isn't able to as well.
Bishop-Firepower-with future tech and his mutant powers Bishop is a great asset to anyone's team
Night Thrasher-Intelligence and Money-every good team needs some kind of money to back them up when push comes to shove and nothing like have a smart rich guy helping you out
3-D Man and/or Falcon-Agility-every team needs a person able to draw fire and be somewhat of a speedster. Either of these guys can fit the bill
Brother Voodoo-Mystical-I think any good team needs some type of magic on their side, whether they are a full time or part time member, we've seen that having a mystic user can come in handy for a number of reasons
That's my team as of now, feel free to give feedback (I will eventually make one for DC)

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Retirement, and the Value of Term Limits
There is a debate among liberal intellectuals about whether it's appropriate to urge Ruth Bader Ginsburg to step down with the Democrats still in control of the Senate and White House. It's a discussion that brings up a lot of fascinating questions of public obligation and the respect due to individuals. But the key takeaway should be this: The decision about whether to retire should be taken out of the hands of individual justices.
The argument for Ginsburg stepping down now, made most recently by the eminent legal scholar and dean of the law school at the University of California-Irvine, Erwin Chemerinsky, is straightforward and compelling on its own terms. If Ginsburg remains on the Court and leaves the Court with a Republican occupying the White House, the most likely result would be Antonin Scalia or John Roberts being the median vote on the Supreme Court. This would be a disaster for the country and, more to the point, for the values that Justice Ginsburg has spent her life fighting for. And even if she left with a Democratic president in the White House but a Republican-controlled Senate, the result would likely be a justice less progressive than Ginsburg. "[T]he best way for her to advance all the things she has spent her life working for," Chemerinsky concludes, "is to ensure that a Democratic president picks her successor." This isn't a complicated argument, but it's a powerful one.
This familiar argument has generated a backlash, arguing that the calls for Ginsburg to resign are inappropriate, and at least in some cases condescending and sexist. Garrett Epps argues in the Atlantic that "[i]f Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had followed advice from male law professors like me, she would probably not be where she is today." Slate's Dahlia Lithwick argues that the calls for Ginsburg to resign both have no chance of working and underestimate her unique contribution to the Court. Lithwick also links to this piece from her colleague Emily Bazelon from last year, making a good case that some of the calls for Ginsburg to resign give off a distinct odor of sexism.
The problem, as I see it, is that everybody's right. Ginsburg staying on does create an increased risk of disaster. And while I agree with much of Lithwick's argument, I don't agree that "Senate Democrats are unwilling or unable to fight for the next Ginsburg." Ginsburg has, without question, been a superb justice. But she's not notably more progressive than Justices Sotomayor and Kagan, who voted with her 93 percent and 94 percent of the time, respectively, last term. And while there's certainly more to a justice than her votes, and surely Ginsburg brings particular abilities to the table that can't be replicated, Justice Kagan in particular has shown herself to be a first-rate crafter of opinions. And while it's not well-understood now, at the time of her appointment, Ginsburg was widely perceived as a moderate who was acceptable to Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee. I see no reason that a replacement for Justice Ginsburg selected by President Obama with a Democratic Senate wouldn't be a worthy successor.
On the other hand, there is something about hectoring Ginsburg to retire that feels gross. People, Kant reminded us, should be treated as ends unto themselves instead of means. It's hard to tell someone to give up a job that means the world to them, and Ginsburg is well aware of the stakes. And it's fair to question why there has been so much more focus on the retirement of Ginsburg rather than Breyer. While Ginsburg is older, her gender makes the difference irrelevant; actuarial tables suggest that a woman of Ginsburg's age and a man of Breyer's age would both be expected to live until around age 90. And while Ginsburg is a cancer survivor, as Lithwick observes there's no evidence that this is affecting her physically or mentally. And while it would certainly be difficult to replace Ginsburg with a better justice, that's much less true with respect to Breyer, who is a less reliable liberal vote than either of President Obama's nominees to the Court.
As of now, admittedly, the question is probably moot. If Ginsburg were to retire over the summer, I doubt it would be possible to get a replacement confirmed before the midterm elections—with both the off-year election and the Senate electoral map favoring the Republicans, their incentives to use all means possible to obstruct any decent nominee will be overwhelming. At this point, the interests of Justice Ginsburg and progressives are probably in unison.
But there's an obvious way of preventing these kinds of dilemmas in the future: fixed, non-renewable terms for judges. All of the complex questions about the political timing of judicial retirements are the function of a life tenure for judges that is becoming increasingly unusual compared to America's peers. And in addition to avoiding the kinds of moral dilemmas presented by the question of whether Ginsburg should retire, judicial terms limits would ensure that judicial appointments are evenly distributed among presidents, prevent the federal courts from getting too out of sync with the nation's political culture, and prevent the arms race of trying to get the youngest nominees possible. And while Justice Ginsburg's ability to do the job is not in question, more than one justice has stayed on after they were fully able to do the job. Wanting to hang on to a job that has for some justices become the main thing to live for is understandable from the standpoint of the justice, but it's not in the interests of the country.
The decision by the framers to give federal judges life tenure made sense at the time. Being a Supreme Court justice in 1791 was a fairly miserable job, involving large amounts of travel on horse-drawn carriages and inns of dubious quality in exchange for little power and prestige. (The first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court left after 6 years to become the Governor of New York; the second lasted four.) Judges staying on for too long was not a primary concern for the framers for good reason. But for multiple reasons, it is now. The debate over Justice Ginsburg should serve as another illustration for the value of term limits.

Even with life tenure, there's a way to set a hard retirement date. For example, the Catholic Church requires cardinals to retire at 75. This might be a good idea for Supreme Court justices, senators and representatives. There's nothing sadder than a doddering politician hobbling out to take one last vote and there are few things more annoying than a special election caused by death from old age while in office.

This thinking as well as the political strategy is both vapid and unbelievably disrespectful of experience and skills. Maybe if you are 35 years or younger playing with fate, it might seem smart to you, but it is short on wisdom. First, the argument leaves out another likely scenario. Suppose Justice Ginsburg decides to retire in 2015, the seat remains vacant because the Senate has turned over and 2016 sees a Republican in the White House? Had Ginsburg remained, will all of those wanting to push Ginsburg out, have regrets? And, if this writer finds "nothing sadder than a doddering politician hobbling out to vote", it's a good thing he/she wasn't alive to experience FDR's dynamic administration, while he was in a wheelchair. Further for future generations, people with these notions that age and physical fitness should determine whether a person can serve in public office and for how long, are throwing away our richest human resources. Because this writer and those who subscribe to this theory, have just consigned all the male/female veterans coming home from wars, whether fit or disabled, to the junk heap.
Thu, 2014-03-20 19:49
I think that it depends upon the justice. Ruth Bader Ginsburg is still a very effective and forward thinking justice. Clarence Thomas, on the other hand, never has been, plus is wife's questionable activities casts a giant shadow on his effectiveness. Alito, and Scalia, pull so far to the right of center as to make them in danger of falling off.
Fri, 2014-03-21 13:11
One cannot generalize about "liberal" vs. "conservative" or "left" vs. "right." I don't like most of Clarence Thomas's opinions and decisions, but he was ABSOLUTELY right to suggest, in dissent in KELO vs. NEW LONDON (the condemnation case), that the Hawaiian precedent case, MIDKIFF, be overruled as such. NONE of the so-called "liberals" on the Supreme Court sided with the hapless property owner, Kelo, whose home was seized and demolished to make way for a private, for-profit urban development in New London, CT that was deemed by local govt. to be in the "public interest," as opposed to being intended for direct "public use" by that local govt.
How come so-called "liberals" don't side with a property owner against the government's wrongful use of the condemnation power for the exclusive benefit of private parties, while so-called "conservatives" do? Like "left" vs. "right," those are meaningless or misleading labels for lazy intellects. Ruth Bader Ginsburg is not necessarily a reliable vote for personal liberty, but she should stay until she decides to leave, REGARDLESS of whomever is in the White House. Many Supreme Court appointments have had a way of eventually disappointing their presidential nominators! Harry Blackmun (Nixon) and David Souter (Bush I) come to mind.

Kristinestad: old town : Michelin's recommendations
The historic quarter around the central market place has retained its authenticity with brightly-coloured wooden houses (17C and 18C) and narrow streets and alleyways. The narrowest has the curious name of "cat whipper alley" (Kattpiskargränden). At the top of Kyrkogatan stands Ulrika Eleonora kyrka, a pretty wooden church built in 1700. Its arrow points towards the town hall (1856) to the left, designed by EB Lohrman. On the other side, two minuscule wooden buildings (1687 and 1720) were used by customs.

Electric EGB2 Goggle - PolarizedView Larger Image
When the sun reflects off the snow and shines like lasers into your retinas, it's time to hide them behind the polarized Electric EGB2 Goggle. Since that burning feeling isn't doing anything for your riding, there's nothing wrong with using this oversized dual cylindrical lens to help you see the sunny park. It'll give you wider peripheral vision to help you see more of the mountain as well as see it better with the polarized, glare-busting lens.
- The 100% UV-blocking polycarbonate lens includes coatings to prevent fogging and scratching for an uninhibited view of the hill
- Polarized lens blocks the glare so you can see better on the sunny days
- Dual lens means that a layer of dead air helps prevent condensation and fogging of the inner lens, while top vents expel body vapors before fogging occurs
- Mold-injected thermo-plastic urethane frame flexes to your face shape and doesn't snap after righteous face-plants
- A 40mm elastic strap adjusts to your head, hat, or helmet with help from articulating strap hinges
- Comes with a bonus lens for changing light conditions or the times the goggle flies off the roof of your car at 80mph
- Includes a microfiber goggle bag for safe and scratch-free storage

There are a few structures in the world that you visit just for the sake of seeing it in the flesh. You might not even go inside.
This incredible library in Maastricht, the Netherlands, is one building you need to visit. But definitely go inside.
It's a huge 13th century Dominican church that was converted and re-designed by Amsterdam-based architects Merkx+Girod Architecten. The mixture of modern and ancient works beautifully, each clashing design somehow works just because of its dichotomy.
The sleek black shelves are offset by the church's original huge, pale-coloured columns. It's like nature meets science, even though the entire structure was man-made – albeit in very different eras, and for very different reasons.
Selexyz Dominican is at Dominicanerkerkstraat 1 6211 CZ Maastricht, Netherlands.

Andray Blatche, Paul Lee officially named to Gilas Pilipinas roster for World Cup
Newcomers Andray Blatche and Paul Lee will join the Gilas Pilipinas squad that will compete in the FIBA Basketball World Cup starting on August 30.
Philippine coach Chot Reyes made the announcement on Monday on his Twitter account.
Blatche, who spent this past season with the Brooklyn Nets in the NBA before acquiring Filipino citizenship, will take the place of another naturalized player Marcus Douthit in the lineup.
Rain or Shine star guard Lee, meanwhile, will take the spot of Larry Fonacier, who had earlier begged off from the team because of health reasons.
The two will join the same Gilas crew that won the silver medal in the FIBA Asia Championship last year, including Jimmy Alapag, Jayson Castro, and Ranidel De Ocampo of Talk 'N Text; Jeff Chan and Gabe Norwood of Rain or Shine; Japeth Aguilar and LA Tenorio of Barangay Ginebra San Miguel; Gary David of Meralco; June Mar Fajardo of San Miguel Beer; and Marc Pingris of San Mig Coffee.
The same lineup will represent the Philippines in the Asian Games basketball tournament next month with the exception of team captain Alapag, who gave up his spot for that competition. Jared Dillinger of the Meralco Bolts will take Alapag's place for that tournament. — JST, GMA News

Alleged participants in mob killing go on trial
On this day in 1869, twenty-four defendants went on trial in the celebrated Stockade Case. On the night of October 24, 1868, a Marion County mob dragged five Republicans, arrested the previous night after a Republican meeting ended in a gunfight with local Democrats, from the Jefferson jail and killed three of them, a white and two blacks. After the killings Reconstruction officials arrested some thirty-five suspects, and eventually tried twenty-four of them. The trial involved the testimony of 176 witnesses, and a verdict was not delivered until August 23, 1869. Only seven of the defendants were found guilty of any of the charges, and it is unclear whether any of them served any time in prison.

Obstacles will delay or even kill Northern Gateway pipeline: ex-Senator Carney
Edmonton Journal
November 24, 2011
EDMONTON - The $5.5-billion Northern Gateway pipeline linking Alberta's vast oilsands wealth to Asian markets via a northern B.C. port won't likely meet its 2017 target to begin shipments – if it gets off the ground at all, retired B.C. Conservative Senator Pat Carney said Thursday.
Carney, who held both the energy and trade portfolios under the Tory government of Brian Mulroney in the 1980s, said Enbridge Inc.'s megaproject faces challenges relating to economics, environmental concerns, well-organized protests backed by Hollywood stars, and aboriginal land claims issues.
But the principal problem, she said, is that First Nations along the pipeline route are the ones that stand to benefit economically, while aboriginals along the coast should expect no major economic benefit but face potentially the greatest risk if there's a significant spill.
"The communities that benefit are not the communities that will pay" if there is a major oil spill on the B.C. coast, Carney, 76, told The Journal on Thursday.
"That is the overriding key for me."
The National Energy Board begins hearings in January in northern B.C., and the company now projects it can complete the project by 2017 if the NEB panel approves the project.
Carney worked for 11 years in the Canadian north as an economic consultant on pipeline projects, including four years with the Mackenzie Valley natural gas pipeline project that was first proposed in the early 1970s and remains in limbo as its backers seek federal aid for the $16.2 billion megaproject.
Carney, who sat in the Harper caucus until her retirement from the Senate in early 2008, also said the outspoken political support for the Northern Gateway project by the Alberta oilpatch and the Harper government is "highly overrated" when weighed against numerous obstacles.
"You can't just bulldoze your way from the oilsands to the coast," said Carney, who as energy minister dismantled the controversial National Energy Program after Mulroney took power in 1984.
"I can certainly say that if it's built at all, it'll be on a much longer time frame than they contemplate."
Numerous media reports have suggested the dozens of First Nations in northern B.C. are overwhelmingly opposed to the project, though Enbridge has indicated that a "significant" number are in negotiations and are interested in the package of economic benefits on offer.
However, among the strongest opponents are First Nations along the coast where tanker traffic will pass by en route to and from the port in Kitimat, where oil tankers will dock to load the bitumen flowing from the 1,177-kilometre pipeline from Bruderheim, Alberta.
Enbridge spokesman Paul Stanway acknowledged that First Nations with land or title claims on or close to the pipeline route – about 36 of the 52 the company is trying to engage with – are being offered the strongest benefit package.
The company is negotiating the payment of taxes to First Nations depending on where their land is located, and all 36 are being offered attractive loans to buy an equity stake in the pipeline.
The remaining 16, which don't have land close to the pipeline route or port, are being offered both individual and collective benefits related to construction and operation of Northern Gateway, according to Stanway.
"It's true that there are considerable benefits to First Nations along the pipeline route, which is as it should be," he said.
"But we are also talking to a number of coastal First Nations about benefits related to the marine operations associated with Northern Gateway."
While acknowledging that the project faces hurdles, he said opponents should consider the benefits.
"Northern Gateway is a potential game-changer in a lot of ways, including about $1 billion in benefits for Aboriginal communities," he said.
"But it's also the key to Canadians getting full value for the country's most important export – potentially adding $270 billion to Canada's GDP over the next 30 years."
Carney, asked for her personal view of Northern Gateway, noted that B.C.'s coast is "one of the world's great industrial waterways (where) an awful lot of fuel and oil moves up and down this coast without any incidents.
"So the evidence would say that in risk management terms, it's safe," said the resident of Saturna Island, located between B.C.'s Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island.
"But my gut instinct is, I don't like it."

Alicia Keys Releases Photos From 'Girl On Fire' Video Shoot
Alicia Keys has released several pictures from her "Girl on Fire" video shoot. Several of the pictures were of Keys' collection of colorful heels, which, presumably, will feature heavily in the vid.
"We spent weeks thinking about this music video to explain how every woman is a #girlonfire!" she tweeted. "This shoot is NUTZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't WAIT for you to see what we're cookin' up!!!!!"
Alicia is in the midst of a promo tour for her forthcoming album, Girl on Fire. She recently stopped by the Alan Carr talk show, Alan Carr: Chatty Man, to perform the LP's lead single, "New Day."
"Everything makes this record different. There's not one thing that's the same," said Alicia of the follow-up to 2009's The Element of Freedom.
