Know that one of my friends told me about a certain scholar who rejected [the existence] of "direct knowledge from God, knowledge of the unmanifest world" (al-'ilm al-ghaybi al-laduni), upon which knowledge the elect of the Sufis rely and to which the folk of the Way (tariqa) are connected--such Sufis stating that "knowledge from God" is more powerful and rigorous (ahkam) than the forms of knowledge acquired through study and attained by learning.
My friend told me that this so-called scholar (mudda'i) states, "Since I am not able to conceive of the knowledge of the Sufis, I do not think that anyone in the world can speak of 'true knowledge' (al-'ilm al-haqiqi) by way of a contemplative act and an intuitive vision (fikr wa-ru'ya), instead of through learning and studious effort (ta'allum wa-kasb)."
So I said, "He does not seem to be cognizant of the paths of attaining [such knowledge] and is not aware of the matter of the human self (al-nafs), its qualities, and how it receives traces of the unmanifest world (al-ghayb) and knowledge of the 'suprasensible world' (al-malakut)."
My friend replied, "Yes, indeed this man says that knowlege consists only of jurisprudence (fiqh), Qur'anic exegesis (tafsir), and dogmatic theology (kalam), beyond which there is no knowledge, and that these forms of knowledge are only attainable through learning and disciplined study (al-ta'allum wa-al-tafaqquh)."
Then I said, "Yes, but how does one learn the science of exegesis, since the Qur'an is the vast ocean encompassing all things, and all of its meanings and the truths of its exegesis are not mentioned in these [exegetical] compositions well-known among the masses?! Rather, exegesis is something other than what this so-called scholar knows."
Then that man replied, "He only considers to be [legitimate] exegeses the well-known exegeses written by Qushayri, Tha'labi, Mawardi, and the like."
So I said, "He is far from the path of the Truth (manhaj al-haqiqa). In fact, Sulami has compiled an exegesis consisting of the sayings of those who realize truth (muhaqqiqin), an exegesis that is virtually the realization of truth (shibh al-tahqiq). And these sayings are not mentioned in other exegeses. Yet that man who only considers valid knowledge to be jurisprudence, theology, and exegesis of mass appeal, it is as if he does not know the various kinds of knowledge, their elaborations, levels, truths, and their outer and inner dimensions. It is customary, however, that one who is ignorant of something rejects it. And that so-called scholar has not tasted the wine of the Truth and is not cognizant of direct knowledge from God (al-'ilm al-laduni), so how can he accept it?! And I would not be satisfied with his acceptance, out of imitation or conjecture, of what he does not know."
Then my friend said, "I would like you to note down something about of the stages of knowledge and the attestation of this [direct] knowledge [of God], since you attribute it to yourself and accept its affirmation."
I replied, "Indeed the elucidation of what you are seeking is very difficult, but I will begin an introduction to it according to my state and in harmony with my experience of the moment and with whatever appears in my consciousness."

I have found at least six Windows PCs on my network that have one or more copies of a file where the entire file name is "~", no extension. Naturally I don't have one at my fingertips, so I can't give more details.
The usual locations are: root C:, Desktop, My Documents, Windows. The file(s) are always dated "today". If I delete the file, it shows up again next time I remember to look days later.
The PCs all have some version of Windows, Norton Corporate Anti-virus, and at least one has had Ad-Aware run on it multiple times.
I am not sure if this is connected with mal-ware or not, or even what the dickens it is!

Winning Powerball ticket worth $155 million sold in Wisconsin
Someone who purchased a Powerball ticket at one of the few lottery retailers in Pewaukee, Wisconsin is several million dollars richer and now holds the distinction of winning the second largest lottery jackpot since Wisconsin began playing the games.
The $155.2 million ticket for Wednesday's drawing was sold at the Pewaukee Corner Pump at 1194 West Capitol Drive.
"I was shocked this morning, when I opened up the lottery, it showed the winning ticket was at the Pewaukee Corner Pump," said semi-retired clerk Mike Brazeau. "I didn't believe it, and then the lottery called and said, 'Congratulations, you made it,' and it's just fantastic."
The winner has 180 days to claim the prize at the lottery office in Madison and has the option of collecting annual payments or a lump sum prize of about $93.1 million.
All lottery winnings are taxable. Lottery officials automatically deduct 25 percent in federal tax for winnings over $5,000 and 7.65 percent in state income tax for winnings over $1,999. The store will receive a prize of $100,000.
No one had come forward to claim the prize as of 9:30 a.m.
"We're hoping one of our regulars just bought it. It's just exciting. Small town, you always hear it's someplace else and never here," Brazeau said.
The largest lottery payout in Wisconsin was a ticket worth $208.8 million sold in August of 2006, according to lottery officials.
The winning numbers were 2, 9, 27, 29 and 42. The Powerball number was 9. The Power Play was 2.

Social networks, search engines, cloud software providers and ride-sharing companies form an influential and fast-growing group of Platform companies that are reaping huge rewards by disrupting existing industries. Despite varied offerings and widely differing sector focus, these companies have much in common.
They need to grow fast or risk being left behind, and the pace of technological change offers little time for reflection, analysis and decision making. If they are to join the "Platform Titans" that dominate the sector, they will face similar challenges as they scale their businesses and expand globally.
Accenture's new POV series, Treading the Path from Early Disruptor to Platform Titan, explores the massive opportunities for growth within this fast-paced industry.
Amazon, Alibaba, Google, Facebook, Salesforce, Tencent and others—that have rewritten the rules of competition in their industries and left incumbents struggling to catch up. Their ability to disrupt established industries such as media, communications and retail has helped them become some of the most valuable companies in the world: "Platform Titans".
In part one of this series we look at the types of companies that make up the Platform sector and the impact they currently have on virtually every facet of work and life.

Growth and Mirrors
Politicians who advertise themselves as "fiscal conservatives" sometimes campaign on crowd-pleasing pledges to cut taxes and simultaneously reduce budget deficits. These are difficult promises to deliver on in practice, since the budget deficit equals government spending minus tax revenue.
Aspiring fiscal conservatives may be interested in learning four innovative tricks that are commonly used by American politicians who like to promise what seems impossible. Each of these feats has been perfected over three decades or more. Indeed they first acquired their colorful names in the early years of the Ronald Reagan presidency:
1. The "Magic Asterisk"
2. "Rosy Scenario"
3. The Laffer hypothesis
4. The "Starve the Beast" hypothesis.
As shop-worn as these four conjuring tricks are, voters and journalists continue to fall for them. Thus they remain useful equipment in the repertoire of the fiscal conservative.
The first term was coined by Reagan's Budget Director, David Stockman. Originally it was an act of desperation, because the numbers in the 1981 budget plan didn't add up. "We invented the 'magic asterisk': If we couldn't find the savings in time - and we couldn't-we would issue an IOU. We would call it 'Future savings to be identified.'" [p.124] Since that time the Magic Asterisk has become a familiar device in the American policy arena. Recent examples include the recommendation of the Simpson-Bowles commission to cut real spending growth by precise amounts, without saying where. US Presidential candidate Mitt Romney has done the same in his spending plan. Another current application of the Magic Asterisk is Romney's plan to eliminate enough tax expenditures to make up the revenue lost by cutting marginal tax rates by 20% (which is $5 trillion in revenue), while steadfastly refusing to say what tax expenditures he would eliminate.
As Election Day nears, the pressure on a candidate to get more specific grows. The conjurer is thus forced to go to Trick Two: since he can't find enough tax loopholes to eliminate, he must claim that what he meant by closing the revenue gap was that stronger economic growth will bring in the added revenue. The most popular magician's assistant of all time makes her encore on the stage. Murray Weidenbaum, Reagan's first Council of Economic Advisers Chairman, deserves the credit for originally dreaming up Ms. Rosy Scenario, "perhaps my most lasting legacy" [p.57]. The Reagan Administration in its early years forecast 5% income growth (twice the long-run average), in order to imply in its projections a boost to revenues big enough to make up for its many tax cut measures [p.93-97]. Since then candidates of every party have made use of Rosy's talents.

Indeed official growth forecasts are systematically overly optimistic in almost all of a sample of 33 countries, contributing to overly optimistic budget forecasts. European governments are particularly biased.
In the Republican primaries last year, candidate Tim Pawlenty assumed a 5 per cent growth rate to make his own plan work. He was all but laughed out of the race. Mitt Romney probably can't get away with this sleight-of-hand either. The press asks, "Why should we believe that the growth rate will magically accelerate just because you become president? Where will this GDP come from? It sounds like pulling a rabbit out of a hat." Right on cue, it is time for Trick 3.
Trick 3 is the famous Laffer Hypothesis. This is the proposition, identified with "supply side economics," that reductions in tax rates are like magic beans: they stimulate economic growth a lot — so much so that total tax revenue (the tax rate times income) goes up rather than down. One might think that the Romney campaign would never resurrect such a hoary and discredited trick. After all, two of his main economic advisers, Glenn Hubbard and Greg Mankiw, both have textbooks in which they say that the Laffer Hypothesis is incorrect as a description of US tax rates. Mankiw's book, in its first edition, even called its proponents "charlatans." But the historical record is that each Republican presidential candidate since Reagan has had good economic advisers who disavow the Laffer Hypothesis. Yet time and again the president (or candidate), and his vice president (or running mate) and his political aides read from a script that relies on the Laffer logic (Appendix I). They are the ones who make the policy if the candidate wins, not the academic economist. George W. Bush had these same two top economic advisers in his first term, Hubbard and Mankiw, when he cut taxes and transmogrified a record surplus into a record deficit.
Trick 4, "Starve the Beast," typically comes later, if and when the president is elected, has enacted his tax cuts, and discovers that smoke and mirrors don't work against hard fiscal reality. He can't find enough spending to cut (Magic Asterisk has disappeared up the conjurer's sleeve); the acceleration in GDP is nowhere to be seen (Rosy Scenario has vanished in thin air); and tax revenues have not grown (no rabbit in the Laffer hat). The audience is now told that losing tax revenue and widening the budget deficit was the plan all along. The performer explains that the deficit is all the fault of Congress for not cutting spending and that the only way to tame the beast is raise the budget deficit because "Congress can't spend money it doesn't have." This trick never works either, of course. Congress can in fact spend money it doesn't have, especially if the "conservative" president has been quietly sending it budgets every year that call for that. "Starve the Beast" as a budget strategy, like the other three, dates back to the first Reagan Administration. (Bartlett, 2007, p.6-7.)
By the time the crowd realizes it has been had, the confidence man has pulled off the greatest trick of all: yet another audience who came to see the deficit shrunk instead leaves the theater with the deficit bigger than when it came in.

Put on Your Sunscreen and Prepare to Get Burned!
The Roastmaster General Returns to Comedy Central(R) in August With the New Series "The Burn with Jeff Ross" and One-Hour Stand-up Special "Jeff Ross Roasts America"
"The Burn with Jeff Ross" Six Episode Series Premieres Tuesday, August 14 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT
"Jeff Ross Roasts America" Original One-Hour Stand-up Special Premieres Saturday, August 11 at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT
Comedy Central Home Entertainment Will Release the "Jeff Ross Roasts America" Uncensored DVD on Tuesday, August 14 Exclusively On Amazon.com
NEW YORK, July 25, 2012 -- The Infamous "Roastmaster General," Jeff Ross, is armed and ready to take aim at the week's hottest topics in the new Comedy Central weekly half-hour series, "The Burn with Jeff Ross," premiering on Tuesday, August 14 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT. To get warmed up for "The Burn," Jeff Ross took his roast on the road to film the one-hour stand-up special "Jeff Ross Roasts America," premiering on Comedy Central on Saturday, August 11 at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT.
"The Burn with Jeff Ross" picks up where the Roasts leave off: Ross and a panel of guest comedians will skewer the week's pop culture topics in-studio, and hit the streets on the "Roaster Coaster" to take aim at "Public Enemies" such as meter maids, the paparazzi, and those things in life that just need to be taken down a notch. With other segments including "Roasting the Week," a no-holds-barred look at the week's hot topics; "Friendly Fire," in which Ross knocks on celebrity front doors, camera in tow; and "Too Soon," featuring commentary on the (extremely) recently departed, Ross continues to earn the title of "Meanest Man in Comedy," bestowed on him by New York Magazine.
"The Burn with Jeff Ross" is executive produced by Ross, Mike Gibbons, Chris McGuire and Tagline Television's Willie Mercer and Amy Zvi; and directed by Jay Karas. Jim Sharp and Gary Mann are the Executives in Charge of Production for Comedy Central.
In the one-hour stand-up special, "Jeff Ross Roasts America," Ross visits several cities across the country, roasting the towns and the residents in volunteer-only speed roasts. Roasting his way through cities including Seattle, Toronto, Las Vegas, Miami and Madison, Ross roasts a statue of Abe Lincoln in Washington D.C., gets roasted by John Rich in Nashville, and in Minneapolis, brings an old friend onstage to tell a very intimate story the way only Jeff Ross can.
"Jeff Ross Roasts America" is executive produced by Ross, Amy Zvi, and Jay Karas; and directed by Karas. Jonas Larsen and Toni Magon are the Executives in Charge of Production for Comedy Central.
Leading up to the on-air premiere, "The Burn with Jeff Ross" Web site will feature preview clips, episode highlights and digital exclusives, as well as a daily blog. Fans of the show will also be able to interact with Ross via Comedy Central social media accounts and an on-site Twitter module. Fans also can follow Ross on Twitter @realjeffreyross. Each episode of "The Burn with Jeff Ross" will be available the day after air in HD on iTunes, Xbox, Sony PlayStation, Amazon and Vudu and in SD on Samsung.
Comedy Central Home Entertainment's "Jeff Roast Roasts America" DVD will be released exclusively through Amazon on Tuesday, August 14. The uncensored DVD will also include bonus material of the complete uncut audience speed roasts from the Minneapolis, Seattle, and Nashville shows. Leading up to the on-air premiere of "Jeff Roast Roasts America," the Comedy Central Stand-Up Web site will feature preview clips from the special as well as exclusive content from the DVD.
Having headlined the last nine Comedy Central Roasts, Ross has roasted the likes of Charlie Sheen, Joan Rivers, Pamela Anderson, David Hasselhoff, and Donald Trump. As a stand-up comic, Ross has appeared on dozens of TV shows including "The Late Show with David Letterman," "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," "Conan," "Last Call with Carson Daly," "The View," and "Real Time with Bill Maher." He also continues to perform regularly for American men and women in uniform stationed all over the world.
In film, Ross has appeared in the Farrelly Brothers' "Stuck on You," Paul Weitz's "American Dreamz," and the critically acclaimed comedy "The Aristocrats." Ross has co-written a film with producer Art Linson, "The Comedian," which will go into production this year, starring Robert De Niro and Kristen Wiig, and directed by Sean Penn. Ross' directorial debut, "Patriot Act: A Jeffrey Ross Home Movie," nabbed the best feature film award at the Montreal Comedy Festival. Ross' first book, "I Only Roast the Ones I Love: Busting Balls without Burning Bridges," is now available in paperback from Simon Spotlight Entertainment, a division of Simon & Schuster.

Who do we blame here? More importantly -- whose side are you on?
East Coast or West Coast? Lyricist or Poet? Ready To Die or Strictly For My ...? The beef they created between each other has become legendary. Both represented everything that hip-hop was supposed to be about. They used to be friends. They died as something totally different.
Kobe or Shaq? You choose.
East or West? Baller or Banger? Lakers or Heat? The beef they've created between each other has become legendary. Both represent everything that basketball is supposed to be about. They used to be teammates. They'll end their careers as something totally different.
March 17: Episode III. On Thursday night, Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant will face each other for the second time since "the divorce" (or the third time, counting the All-Star Game). What used to be the best story about basketball has now become the best story in basketball ... which has nothing to do with basketball. It has become a saga of Bush/Moore proportions, one that makes 50 and The Game's beef look vegetarian, one that has an impact on a generation much like that of two hungry, young, gifted MCs who came into the game to prove they had skills and prove that they belonged and wound up changing the world.
Theirs is a story that really isn't one, this Kobe and Shaq tale. They played together for six years. Half the time together they won chips, the other half they didn't. At times, they loved each other; at times, they didn't. The "B" in the NBA stands for business: trades happen; free agency occurs when contracts expire; coaches retire. We the media made a story out of this. We the media will continue to do so. The angle: a severed friendship. "It'll be better than 'Tilt,'" a producer will scream to an announcer, an editor to a reporter. A real-life soap opera. Too bad Mark Burnett didn't think of it first.
They will say nothing to each other. Kobe might make an attempt to holla, Shaq will make an attempt not to hear it. "General Hospital" material. But what makes the Shaq/Kobe dynamic die-namic is not what doesn't exist anymore between them; it's the nature of what has been created. The hatred, the betrayal, the fact that none of us knows whom to blame, the fact that both of them are to blame. "One More Chance" or "Hail Mary"? Can't choose both.
Their success will not be measured this season. It will go beyond. Beyond Thursday, beyond the rematches they'll have next year.
Everyone stepped away from the presents on Christmas to see if the Corvette hit the wall.
And that's what makes this thing so intriguing. The way it's set up (partially because of the media playing the subliminal roles of Vibe and Source in this), Shaquille's and Kobe's careers will partially be defined by the games they play against each other. Think the "SportsCentury" ESPN does on this 10 years from now won't include these games? Think they won't be the centerpiece, the epicenter? Think you won't see my black behind up there, in front of the camera, gray-haired out, glasses, talking about how I was there when "Shaq dunked on Kobe in 2005" or how I remember when "Kobe hit a jumper at the buzzer to beat the Heat in 2006?"
The dramatic element to their meetings will be much deeper than anything Magic and Bird or Wilt and Russell went through, even though the stakes will never be as high. The history of Kobe and Shaq dictates that difference. It's deeper than rings. It will be about fans making a non-basketball choice of whom to root for and whom to root against. The problem is, will we look back at this time then, as we do with Pac and Big, and think, how stupid were we for allowing it to go that far? Why did we let it come to this?
And never having an answer.
Bernie Mac asked the proverbial question of life: Who Ya Wit?
Who are you with? The guy you feel destroyed the Lakers dynasty, or the guy you feel sold the Lakers out? Do you even know who's who?
The fact is, neither Shaq nor Kobe alone is right or wrong in this "Lost" season. Can't blame Kobe for breaking up a dynasty, because veraciously, it wasn't a dynasty anymore. Their last two years as Lakers together, KB8 and S34 won no championships. San An got one through them, and Detroit got one on them. That alone should be reason enough for the world to leave them alone, but they can't leave it alone.
Can't leave alone the fact that the two best – if not greatest – basketball players of this generation couldn't coexist into retirement. Can't get past the fact that they were never going to be Mike and Scottie. Can't comprehend that maybe, just maybe, this move is the best thing that could have happened for both of them. Can't wait for Thursday night, just to see if "the Corvette runs into the brick wall."
"Who Shot Ya?" or "Hit 'Em Up"? Bad Boy or Death Row? Puff or Suge? The reason Pac hated Big was ... what? Claimed Big had him set up, shot and robbed. Claimed Big stole his style. Claimed Big was fake. The reason Big hated Pac? Putting on blast that he slept with his wife. If these are facts, then what do any of these reasons have to do with hip-hop, music, N.Y., L.A., record labels or legions of fans spread worldwide feeling forced to take allegiance with one side or the other?
Nothing. Mr. Wallace and Mr. Shakur's beef was personal.
In the end it's not about the game, it's personal. So, whose side are you on?
"Lead the league in scoring and not make the playoffs" or "Get low on the stats and help an up-and-coming team get a ring?" LA or MIA? Jim Gray or Stephen A.? The reasons Shaq hates Kobe are ... what? Kob wanted to test the free agent market? He was name-dropping to Eagle County cops? He made Phil Jackson leave? If you know the answer, what does that have to do with basketball? The reasons Kob hates Shaq are ... what? He didn't get in shape for two years? He got tired of the "big brother/little brother" comments? Free throws? And if he really does hate him, what does that have to do with basketball?
Nothing. Mr. O'Neal and Mr. Bryant's beef is personal.
If not mythical.
But it makes for great drama, classic theater, Woods vs. Mickelson-like ratings. But not necessarily phenomenal basketball, the same way Big and Pac's drama didn't create unbelievable music – their talent did. Maybe, once Kobe and Shaquille are able to put this behind them (and once we – the media – leave the issue alone), they'll let their games speak the volumes that they've allowed their relationship to speak whenever they have a game to win or lose against each other. Maybe they'll turn their personal war into a basketball one where it might not begin with giving each other dap at center court but it will end that way. Maybe this round will be the beginning of that. Maybe not.
Gotta give 'em credit. Kobe and Shaq are the first ones to make art imitate sports. They've made us choose sides. Pick one. Hate the other. And so deep has this battle, this beef, gotten into the American psyche that which one you choose has become a reflection of the type of person you are. Liking Shaq says something about you; liking Kobe says something else. Just like two deceased MCs who just a few years ago had the world in the palms of their hands. The problem with the Shaq/Kobe scenario is no one knows which one of them is Biggie and which one is Pac.
To me its a great article because Im a big hip hop and NBA fan.[/code]
Great 2Pac/Biggie and Shaq/Kobe analogy
Talk about any other sports here.

Congressman to Introduce Proposal for Time Traveling to 1991
What's the latest and greatest jobs proposal from the pride of the nation, your 112th Congress? This week, it's called "taking the week off." But when the House comes back for its light work schedule next week, longtime Alaska Rep. Don Young plans to introduce this... thing: A bill "to repeal every single federal regulation put in place since 1991." Lord knows how many all-nighters his staff pulled tweaking the details of this beast.
So why 1991? To honor the 20th anniversary of Nevermind, or because it just sounded like the appropriate completely arbitrary year to dial back to? More of the latter:
"My bill is very simple, I just null and void any regulations passed in the last 20 years," Young told the Anchorage Downtown Rotary Club. "I picked 20 years ago because it crossed party lines and also we were prosperous at that time. And no new regulations until they can justify them."
At least some members of the Rotary crowd appeared taken aback by the breadth of what Young appeared to be saying, given all of the passenger jet safety, pesticide, food safety, banking and other regulations that have come into place since 1991.
Indeed, 1991 was a very prosperous year, aside from the recession.
When pressed, however, about the many regulations that people would prefer to keep, a spokesman followed up with this confusing revision: "The idea behind the legislation is simple; if an agency cannot justify the benefit of a regulation, then it has no business being on the books. The intent of this legislation is to reverse the regulatory overreach by the federal government, not to repeal regulations that are critical to the safety of Alaskans."
So it's a bill to repeal all regulations put in place since utopian recession days of 1991, except for the ones that it doesn't repeal. Hmm... this seems like it could get caught up in the committee process for a while?

"Printer Bomb" Malware Could Cost You Plenty
The threat that Symantec calls Trojan.Milicenso originated back in 2010, but Symantec researchers report a new surge in infections. The problem is especially bad in the US and India. Worse, in many cases an infected system will print page after page of garbage until the printer runs out of paper.
According to Symantec researchers the Trojan delivers an adware payload that targets French-speaking users. Each instance of the malware file comes encrypted using a key unique to the target computer, making it tough for antivirus scanners to detect. The malicious code adjusts its behavior if it detects that it's running in a virtual machine or a sandbox, to evade analysis by experts. However, unlike some threats that cease all action in such a situation, Milicenso performs a few mildly suspicious activities. Symantec's report suggests it's attempting to get labeled as low risk.
Stuxnet and Duqu were signed with stolen digital certificates. The recent Flamer attack used a Microsoft vulnerability to give the appearance of being signed by Microsoft. Milicenso is also digitally signed, but it uses an expired certificate.
So why does this Trojan print garbage? Symantec believes it's a bug, an unintentional side-effect. One of the Trojan's components is an executable file disguised as a .SPL (print spooler) file. In some system configurations, dropping any file at all into the print spooler folder will cause an unwanted printout.
This time it was an accident, but malware could definitely do it on purpose. Threats that need widespread propagation need to fly under the radar, so it's not likely we'll see thousands of victims. But a targeted attack or a remote-controlled subtle attack like Flamer could definitely do damage to its victim institution. What if it printed all-black pages to use up your paper and ink?
For full details on the current threat check Symantec's blog and a shorter piece from the Internet Storm Center.

MVISD moves down to 2A in UIL realignment
- Details
- Category: School News
- Published on 10 February 2012
- Written by Mount Vernon Optic-Herald
The biennial district realignment by the University Interscholastic League was revealed on Thursday, Feb. 2. Mount Vernon ISD moved down to Conference 2A Division 1.
Student counts were submitted in October 2011. Mount Vernon turned in a count of 408 students in the high school. This is a lesser number than submitted last time, and the limits for 2A were adjusted to include schools from 200 to 449 students with 297.5 being the division separation.
"What's fair is fair," Athletic Director Mike Alexander said. "Our kids will now get the opportunity to play like sized schools." See the February 9 edition of the Mount Vernon Optic-Herald for a listing of schools the Tigers will face in pre-season and district football games next year.

Generally offer a higher level of amenities than University Halls, at higher rents. Will be home to a more diverse mix of students and normally located close to campus.
A house share with a group of friends is often the lowest cost option and popular as the next step after living in Halls. Typically located in student friendly areas which require some travel to University.
A flat or apartment is similar to a house share on a smaller scale and will normally have one or two bedrooms. Ideal for smaller groups or couples.
Either a premium room in a Private Hall of Residence or a self-contained flat or apartment where all of the amenities are in one space. Typically the most expensive option.
A room in a house where the landlord or owner currently lives. A good option if you are not too concerned about living with other students and are budget conscious.
A self-contained room, which includes most amenities but with shared bathroom facilities.
A room available in a house share, where a group of existing housemates want to fill an empty room. A good way of getting the benefits of a house share without an established group of friends.

Maybe we understand the term "conceptual" differently but I would have said that insight goes much deeper than concepts and if it doesn't then it's not really insight, it's knowledge.rowyourboat wrote:The object of vipassana is non-conceptual, is based on direct experience, with a mind purified with samadhi.
The resultant insight maybe conceptual- it certainly becomes so when we are able to think about it and discuss it subsequently..even more so when it becomes part of supramundane right view.
Of course then we have to use concepts if we want to try and describe that insight but that's just a description of the insight. Also we should use those concepts to reflect on that insight which in turn starts a process that leads to more knowledge and hopefully more insight.

"For Your Consideration"
I've been a film critic for about 12 years, but only bothered to join a critics' group a few months ago -- the newly minted Boston Online Film Critics' Association, or BOFCA. It's been an education.
For example, I previously only attended critics' screenings for the films to which I was given the review assignment. Since joining BOFCA I've had to triple my forays to the Cineplex for the screenings, and even that has meant I miss a lot of films... probably too many. Thankfully, some studios send out screeners of the films they'd like to promote for the various categories, and this helps fill in the gaps.
Of course, there are consequences to this, as when the individual BOFCA ballots were due last Friday, even as screeners were fetching up in the mail. It's fun, of course, to take a day or three off work and, with the clock running down, watch six films back to back, but it can also be sort of overwhelming. (Where was last week's column? It's right here. I just could not get to it last week!)
Then there's the sheer end-of-year major-motion-picture fatigue that sets in when gorgeously realized projects from heavyweight directors start popping up one after the next: Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln." Ang Li with "Life of Pi." And -- this film instantly sucked the oxygen out of the cinema and ignited it -- Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty," which is sheer perfection.
I get the marketing aspect of waiting until the last few weeks of the year to release the films that studios hope will bring home the gold. I also think it's a little cynical and unnecessary: Critics, industry professionals, and Academy voters who lionize films from the silent era are not gonna forget about a good movie from 2012 just because it came out last February.
One of the really hard things to do is to pare and whittle and, finally, choose. The BOFCA ballots asked for three nominations in each category (except Best Picture, which required ten; I could only, in good conscience nominate eight), because our official nominations are done as a group and we needed a way to tabulate that would help us avoid ties, etc. But even so, the #1 pick in each category carried the most weight on each individual ballot, so one could not be haphazard about how one listed one's choices. Settling on a definite favorite is a tough business, because sometimes you absolutely love two performers, or three movies, or six directors, and cannot really say which you love the most. Sometimes you're trying to decide between apples and oranges. It can all seem more than a little subjective, because it's all entirely subjective.
Finally, I managed to fill out and submit my ballot. Our official nominations as a group are available for viewing online, and have already occasioned some controversy: One film blogger dissed us as sex-starved "beefalos" who were obviously "dweebs" because we didn't nominate his favorite film. The comments section was even less friendly, with some punters writing in that we are "unnecessary" as a group, if not downright "blatant screener grabbers" interested only in reaping the official "for your consideration" screeners that the studios send out.
For the record, while we did get some screeners -- and they helped, because anything helps when you're chronically over-scheduled and can't see everything -- we didn't actually get that many. Some studios, or at least their publicists, sent us nothing at all, which is fine, because A. it's not as though we're getting gold-plated Deluxe DVDs here, and B. part of the deal is that you watch the screener and then destroy it to avoid the possibility of video piracy. In other words -- and any working critic would know this -- the screeners are a professional resource, not swag. (Furthermore, I have to wonder why a "blatant screener grabber" would have spent so many hours throughout the course of the year hauling himself around town to erratically scheduled screenings when he could simply have nested at home, awaiting some mythical Big Boxed Set from the studio gods.)
Maybe the most heart-rending thing is how many fine films one sees in the course of the year that are not even eligible for Oscar nominations due to a lack of wide theatrical release. This is especially true of gay cinema: I saw so much I loved that played in GLBT film festivals, but never got the kind of release that would have made some fine films eligible for Oscar consideration.
With that in mind, let me offer a very brief list of GLBT films that I think should have been up for awards consideration -- a "Gay Oscars," if you like.

Our hot blooded summer has definitely arrived. As I sit here and type, the morning sunlight streaming through my window has that fierce quality only summer sunlight here has. I squint even if I'm not looking directly at it. And the heat…oh boy. We have gone from slow roast to flash sear; the temperature shooting upwards with no thought for the poor creatures (like me!) it singes and melts along the way.
Summer is here. I can almost hear the sizzle as my flip-flops hit the pavement.
Time to escape the city!
Summer is the time for fresh mango juices dribbling down your chin, for digging your toes into the sand, for the sting of salt water or the blessed coolness of the pool. It's the time to find a way out of the concrete jungle and into a place where you can still hear the birds as you nap. And, although I am all grown up and no longer have the luxury of a summer vacation, it is the time to find ways to slow down (because god knows you can't go any faster in this heat!) over an ice cold rum+coke, if only for the weekends or the warm summer nights.
Luckily, the long Easter weekend is almost upon us and we will be out of the stifling city heat for a while! We are not dashing off to the beach; more's the pity, but just to my mum-in-law's farm outside the city. While it doesn't have the sea nor the sand, it does have a pool, cool nights, a house with gorgeous wooden floors that never get hot (and are heaven to walk on barefoot), and a lovely kitchen for me to play in! Plus a white canopy bed where, I swear to you, I have the best naps of my life.
So right now, I am trying to get all my work done, at the same time making sure all the supplies for our farm visit are sorted. I'm also in a tizzy preparing as much do-ahead dishes as I can so I can relax and enjoy the nice kitchen with just a dish or two or three 🙂
This is one such do-ahead thing. I love marinated olives and think they are perfect cocktail food. Over here though, good-quality pre-marinated olives are a tad expensive, and really, make no sense when you can easily be marinating your own for a fraction of the cost. This recipe is one of the several I like (although it's just as easy to wing it in the marinated olives department).
Green Olives with Coriander Seeds
From Tessa Kiros' Falling Cloudberries, page 154)
- 500 grams green olives in brine
- 1 1/2 lemons
- 3 teaspoons coriander seeds
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 125 ml olive oil
– Pit the olives by placing them on a chopping board then pressing down on them with the flat blade of a large knife. You don't want to crush them to bits, just crack them open so you can remove the pits. Place olives in a bowl and discard pits.
– Cut four or five thin slices from the lemon half (discarding any pips) and add to the olives.
– Roughly crush the coriander seeds in a spice grinder or coffee grinder, or using a mortar and pestle. Do not grind them to a powder; you just want the seeds cracked so they release their aroma. Add this to the olives.
– Juice the other lemon and add to the olives, along with the garlic and the olive oil. Season with pepper. Taste first before adding any salt as the olives are probably salty enough.
– Mix everything well and leave to marinate for at least an hour before serving. This will keep for a week in the fridge (covered).
I like this recipe because I love the aroma and flavor of coriander seeds. Tessa says this is a typical Cypriot preparation. If you are too lazy to pit the olives, then leave them unpitted, or, like I did here, only pit some of them. This is great for a cocktail party because you can make it ahead (it will actually get better and more infused if you let it sit overnight) and have it on the table when your guests arrive – distracting them and giving you time to finish up the more a la minute stuff.
This is going with us to the farm, along with other goodies, as part of a Greek dinner we are preparing. We are in charge of Friday lunch and dinner – dinner will be Greek-themed and lunch will be Mexican. All seafood! I hope to have some photos to show when I get back 🙂Meanwhile, if you're over here, keep cool! If you're in some other hemisphere or across the ocean…send a little breeze my way? 🙂

Buenos Aires: How the Maldonado stream went back to its bed
Also available in: Español
The case of the Maldonado stream: The voice of a citizen
Imagine a busy metropolitan avenue crossing the length of Buenos Aires, Argentina, transited daily by buses and trains and lined with a large hospital, medical buildings, schools, shops and businesses.
Now imagine for 27 years this avenue flooding severely 37 times as if it were a river. During a flood, envision people being evacuated in motorboats, cars practically floating downstream, and cars and pedestrians on the bridge above it having to remain stranded there until the waters on the avenue below receded. It sounds implausible doesn't it? Not for Buenos Aires residents it didn't. The Juan B. Justo Avenue was such a thoroughfare.

A higher education in pharmacy offers graduates a doorway into a career that is challenging, rewarding, and in great demand. Pharmacy students may now approach courses online to achieve a certificate for an entry-level pharmacy job, or a full doctor of pharmacy degree (as of 1994 there is no longer a bachelor's degree in pharmacy).
Online pharmacy degrees have become practical only recently. They are under development at various institutions to curb the problem of manpower shortages in the pharmacy industry, and to provide non-traditional students with pathways into the field.
Pharmacy education focuses on patient counseling, monitoring, and evaluating plus documenting patients' treatment outcomes. Naturally, conveying this knowledge in an online format and building required skills in students is a challenge, and requires an innovative use of technology.
"We use a combination of audio streaming, video, CD-ROM, and Internet media," said Dr. Chris Bradberry, Dean of the School of Pharmacy and Health Professions at Creighton University. "The Web pathway students are focused, motivated, and know what they want."
Online pharmacy students should be self-motivated and technologically-savvy, but institutions typically have assistance in place should students have any difficulties.
"Previous experience and enthusiasm are very crucial, but we provide mentors to students for academic support. Technological skill is important, but we offer support through a large IT department focusing on Web support with a real-time help desk," said Bradberry.
Pharmacy students wanting to apply to several schools will find the PharmCAS application service beneficial.
"PharmCAS is a centralized application service allowing a student to use a single application to apply to multiple pharmacy programs. They'll only need one set of references and test scores, and the PharmCAS application is used by a majority of schools," said Libby Ross, Director of PharmCAS and Student Affairs at the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP).
Requirements for pharmacy program eligibility differ by institution, so students should investigate their choice program to make sure they're prepared.
"A PharmD (Doctor of Pharmacy) program is a four-year program with two years of pre-practice study," said Ross. "The majority of students have gone through three years of college before enrolling, and one-fourth have a bachelor's degree or higher."
The AACP website offers a list of prerequisites by institution.
For those students seeking an online Doctor of Pharmacy degree, Creighton's program is uniquely distinguished.
"Being the only entry-level online program that is fully-accredited by the Accreditation Council of Pharmacy Education (ACPE) sets us apart. The ACPE accredits entire programs, not pathways, so we have to prove equity in student performances. We worked for years to demonstrate equivalence in the pathways and earn that accreditation," said Bradberry.
For students who are not ready or sure about a PharmD program such as Creighton's, a pharmacy technician program may be a good option. Karl Friedman, Director of Curriculum for the Professional Career Development Institute (PCDI), said that there were many advantages to pharmacy tech study.
"It's a great way to start. There's so much to be said for learning how the profession operates before making a great educational commitment. Also, a pharmacy technician certificate gives graduates knowledge and skill for a great entry-level job."
Some options for online pharmacy study include:
Online education is typically more affordable than traditional programs, but some students may need loans to complete their education.
"Web students receive the same loan opportunities as campus students," said Bradberry. "Eighty percent or more have financial aid in one form or another."
Even if a program is ineligible for federal aid, there are still scholarships and private loans for students, and many institutions offer payment plans.
Graduates of an online program in pharmacy will have opportunity to work in retail pharmacies, local drug stores, grocery stores, and hospitals. Pharmacy workers will see an estimated 17.4 to 28.6% increase in demand between 2004 and 2014. Pharmacists earned an average median salary of $84,900 in 2004, and pharmacy technicians earned an average of $23,650.
Pharmacy graduates will benefit from important and beneficial positions with tremendous potential. Experts agree that is a continued shortage of pharmacists on the horizon, with a growing number of patients, making now the right time to pursue an online pharmacy degree.


text: Auditing Colombia's agriculture IP Intellectual Property and Technology News Share this 10 Dec 2012 With the goal of conducting an IP audit of Colombia's agriculture-related IP, three DLA Piper lawyers, under the guidance of partner Lisa Haile and International Pro Bono Counsel Kristen Abrams, recently visited Bogotá. Pamela Bechtel, Tiffany Nichols and Eduardo Blanco, accompanied by R. Mark Davis of Public Interest Intellectual Property Advisors (PIIPA), also sought to identify Colombian agricultural innovations which are not being protected by patents and may have export value. While in Colombia, the team met with the Superintendent of the Patent Office and the Director of Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario, which regulates Colombia's Plant Registry, as well as with government-funded researchers and university researchers. Their research was part of a project being carried out by New Perimeter, DLA Piper's nonprofit affiliate dedicated to global pro bono work, in partnership with PIIPA. The project's aim is not only to help identify agricultural innovations in Colombia but also to stimulate use of Colombia's patent system. The project is currently in its second and final stage, and includes interviewing researchers and government officials in Medellín, Cali and Cartagena. Ultimately, the project will release a report outlining the results of the patent audit, to be presented at a conference of CIAT, the International Center for Tropical Agriculture, a nonprofit dedicated to reducing poverty and hunger while protecting natural resources in developing countries.

PAYT Bulletin: Winter 2007
New Nationwide Statistics Show More Than 7,000 PAYT Communities Nationwide
A new report sponsored by EPA and Skumatz Economic Research Associates, Inc. indicates that the number of PAYT communities has grown from approximately 4,000 in 1997 to nearly 7,100 communities nationwide. PAYT has led to the diversion of 4.6 million to 8.3 million tons of municipal solid waste per year that would have otherwise been disposed of. It is also reducing communities' impact on global climate change by reducing carbon equivalents by 2.1 million to 3.8 million metric tons per year; reducing carbon dioxide equivalents by 7.8 million to 13.3 million metric tons per year; and reducing energy use by 61 million to 108 million British thermal units per year.
PAYT programs are now available in about 25 percent of communities in the United States, covering nearly 75 million residents. In the past decade, there has been an almost 70 percent increase in the number of PAYT communities. States with the largest share of communities with PAYT available include California, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, Oregon, Washington, and Wisconsin, all with PAYT available in 40 percent or more of the communities in the state. Five of these states have more than 75 percent of communities with PAYT. Thirty of the 100 largest cities in the United States are using PAYT.
The recent national analysis indicates that PAYT communities show a 17.1 percent recycling rate overall, compared with only 13.6 percent in non-PAYT communities. In PAYT communities, the rate of yard waste diversion is 11.5 percent, compared with 7.8 percent in non-PAYT communities. The study also found that household costs for monthly garbage services were not significantly higher for PAYT communities compared to non-PAYT communities.

Only a Stone's Throw Away: PAYT Programs Across the Country
PAYT is growing in cities and towns across the country. See where the latest PAYT programs and events are taking root.
Seen + Heard
"Our 'throw-away' society faces serious consequences if this lifestyle is not reversed… All communities should be required to use 'pay-as-you-throw' systems. Using that system, residents are charged for each bag of garbage generated. It is a system that encourages the consumer to generate less garbage and recycle more… It makes all the sense in the world - environmentally, financially, and morally - to reduce waste." ("We Can't Afford Not to Recycle" Editorial that appeared in Connecticut's TheDay.com newspaper on Jan. 2, 2007)
"Local authorities now see the move towards new charging systems for household waste as 'unstoppable' - with only a matter of time before residents pay for the collection of waste they do not recycle." (UK's Letsrecycle.com Describing England's increasing use of PAYT programs in the scramble to meet the European Union's 2010 "landfill directive" targets.)
"It has to do with how well each community advertises [recycling]. Fort Collins is good because of its pay-as-you-throw ordinance." (Dan DeWaard, Waste Management of Northern Colorado Describing why Fort Collins, Colorado, is better than most places about recycling.)
Increasing the city's recycling rate from 30 percent to 43 percent in only a few months, the PAYT program in Akron, Ohio, is already showing results. "People hate the idea at first, but after living with it for a couple months they love it," said Akron public works manager Paul Barnett, who implemented PAYT in Akron last summer. Nearby Lorain County, Ohio, is now considering a similar program that would limit residents to one standard-sized trash can per home.
Seeking alternatives to the town's $165-a-year trash fee, Stoneham, Massachusetts, may join the growing ranks of PAYT programs in the " Bay State." In November 2006, a committee recommended the switch, saying the system would provide an incentive to recycle and reduce household waste, as well as cut fees to $90 per household. Stoneham would join the 120 municipalities in Massachusetts that have unit-based pricing for trash collection.
Penn Township, Pennsylvania, is one of 20 communities that will share more than $2.3 million in grants for their recycling efforts in 2004, awarded in early January by the commonwealth's Department of Environmental Protection. Penn Township received special mention for its successful PAYT program.
Recently featured in Waste News Magazine, Wayzata, Minnesota, is showing how PAYT can inspire communities to weed out unnecessary trash. The town has collected organics as part of its curbside recycling program for nearly four years. Food scraps, pizza boxes, paper towels, vacuum cleaner bags, dryer lint, and dead houseplants are all included in the composting effort, which has cut Wayzata's garbage output by at least 12 percent.Canterbury, New Hampshire , recently adopted PAYT—much to the delight of EPA's Pay-As-You-Throw program manager Janice Canterbury, happy to now share more with the New England town than just her last name. Is Canterbury, England, next in line?
Coca-Cola Promotes PAYT to Help Meet Its Own Goals
The two largest soft drink manufacturers, PepsiCo and Coca-Cola Company, are being asked by a corporate responsibility group to increase their beverage container recovery and recycling in the United States. The group, As You Sow, submitted shareholder resolutions to the soft drink giants in November, encouraging them to influence nationwide recycling rates that are lagging behind increased beverage sales. Showing that Coke has done its homework on solutions that work, the company issued statements indicating its support for PAYT.
"To increase collection we have been focused on designing packaging with high recycling value and working with other stakeholders to promote effective community collection programs such as Pay-As-You-Throw or RecycleBank models—models achieving recycling rates of all materials above 50 percent," said Scott Vitters, Coca-Cola's director of sustainable packaging, explaining what the company is currently doing to improve recycling.
Coca-Cola is a "huge advocate" for PAYT, Vitters stressed, dating back to the 1980s when it hosted a PAYT forum at its headquarters with EPA's help. Although lately the company has done more work with the RecycleBank model, he said Coke is currently researching the best PAYT programs in the United States.
"Treating waste like a utility is fundamentally the way to go," he said. While Coke packages its drinks in high-value recyclables, like aluminum cans and plastic bottles, Vitters explained that without public education and motivation to recycle, "commodity dollars are going down the drain—and we want those commodities back for ourselves."
To that end, Vitters said Coca-Cola is working on model programs that raise recycling rates by looking at what waste costs the consumers, and then introducing incentives such as PAYT, and will continue to look for ways to partner with EPA and the National Recycling Coalition.

1 dead, 3 injured in North Carolina hospital explosion
DURHAM, N.C. – One patient has been killed and three others suffered slight injuries in an explosion at Durham Regional Hospital in central North Carolina.
Hospital operations chief Katie Galbraith says no one else was hurt in the explosion around 2:15 a.m. Tuesday on the hospital's sixth floor.
Galbraith says the hospital's sprinkler system worked properly and the fire was controlled as firefighters arrived. Other patients were moved to other parts of the hospital.
Galbraith says officials are still trying to determine exactly where the explosion occurred.
Some patients were moved because of flooding caused by the sprinkler system. She says the three patients who were slightly injured had all been on ventilators before the blast and have been taken to the intensive care unit after being checked in the emergency room.

text: The ServerWorks chipsets LE and HE are now appearing on retail motherboards. I need to buy some more nodes for a cluster of Pentium-based PCs and I would like to know the experience of other people with regard to Linux and Myrinet with motherboards based on this chipset. More specifically, SuperMicro has the 370DE6 that uses the ServerWorks III HE-SL chipset. (I do not know what -SL means, it is not mentioned in the ServerWorks WWW site.) Supermicro also has the 370DL3 motherboard that uses the ServerWorks III LE chipset. Tyan has the Thunder 2500 (S1867DUAN) motherboard that uses the ServerWorks III HE chipset but the web site says "Due to the current demand, the product is shipped to OEM customers only." Last but not least, Asus has the CUR-DLS motherboard that uses the ServerWorks II LE chipset. Before I went on vacation, I don't remember seeing a ServerWorks-based board described on their the WWW site, my impression is that this is a new product from Asus. The ServerWorks "Server Set" seems to be the chipset that Intel should have been making since the start of this year (if it were not for the contractual commitment to RAMbus). Since I have purchase Myrinet, the 64-bit 66 MHz PIC bus mastering slots are very attractive. My limited budget does not permit me to buy a board for testing, so I am asking advice from the beowulf community. By the way, is the SuperMicro 370DE6 (HE chipset) actually available? I cannot find it in Italy though the SuperMicro 370DL (LE chipset) is being sold here in Italy. Thanks, Alan Scheinine Email: scheinin at crs4.it
