Reinland Mennonite Church (Manitoba)
1959 Article
The Reinländer Mennonite Church was formed in Southern Manitoba in April 1958 by a conservative minority of some 500 members who withdrew from the 3,500 member Sommerfelder Mennonite Church in Manitoba. Twelve of the sixteen ministers of the Sommerfelder group joined the schismatic party, but the elder Johann Friesen did not leave. The new group elected Cornelius Nickel of Blumenthal as their bishop. Elements of the Sommerfelder group in Saskatchewan sympathized with them. The main body of Sommerfelders retained all the meetinghouses. -- Harold S. Bender
1990 Article
The Reinland Mennonite Church (Manitoba) grew out of the Sommerfelder Mennoniten Gemeinde (Sommerfeld Mennonite Church) in 1958. The new body was the second church named Reinländer in Manitoba--the first, popularly known as the Old Colony Church, immigrated to Mexico, 1922-25. The immediate issue in the 1958 division was the introduction of electricity into Sommerfelder meetinghouses, but underlying causes were complex. There was an uneasiness more felt than defined, that the values of the faith community were in danger of gradual erosion. Some 800 baptized members (about a fifth of the official Sommerfelder membership) including 12 ministers joined the new church. Cornelius C. Nickel was chosen as the first elder (bishop). Groups forming the new church first met for worship on Sunday, 13 April 1958. Services were held in a vacant house in Blumenfeld, in a machine shed south of Plum Coulee, in private homes near Rosenfeld, Roseau River, and elsewhere. The construction of new meetinghouses with separate Sunday school buildings began within months. New facilities were dedicated at Blumenfeld, Altona, Winkler, and Austin in 1958, at Stuartburn in 1960, and at Inwood in 1963 (the latter group eventually discontinued).
Other Reinländer groups emerged. In 1960 some families of Chortitzer Mennonite Church origin formed a congregation at Grunthal, Manitoba. Mennonite emigrants from Mexico formed another at Rainy River, Ontario in 1966. In 1968 a number of families, led by Elder Nickel, immigrated to Bolivia. Additional settlers from Saskatchewan and the Paraguayan Chaco joined them to establish a Reinländer congregation.
In 1969 Peter A. Rempel was chosen as the new Manitoba elder. He was active in the founding of a sister church at Swift Current Colony, Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua, Mexico, in 1979. This group soon grew to include over 3,200 people (including children) meeting in five locations. Gerhard Neufeld became the elder. Other groups were organized at Santa Rita, Chihuahua, and at Seminole, Texas, with Johann Krahn and Heinrich Reimer serving as elders respectively. As Elder Rempel's health declined, he urged the election of a co-elder. William H. Friesen was chosen in 1982. The spiritual nurture of the church was enhanced by a harmonious relationship between the two elders. They sought to incorporate the rising generation into the church community. Sunday schools and youth groups flourished.
When electricity was installed in new meetinghouses at Winkler and Altona in the mid-1980s, some families left the church and formed the Friedensfeld Mennonite congregation.
In 1990 the northern Reinländer body counted 1590 baptized members meeting at eight locations. -- Peter D. Zacharias

The Federal Trade Commission has cleared the way for Rochester General Health System and Unity Health System to merge.
The move, which follows last month's state Department of Health approval, represents the last major regulatory milestone in the merger process, hospital officials said.
RGHS and Unity expect the merger to be completed in July.
"Clearance from the FTC is a powerful endorsement of the significant potential value the merger can bring to the community, supporting our vision to become a model regional, integrated health care system," said Mark Clement, president and CEO of RGHS. "The FTC decision also recognizes the overwhelmingly positive and enthusiastic regional support the merger plans have received from our business, government and consumer stakeholders."
RGHS and Unity in April 2013 announced plans to create a formal relationship that would result in a single, integrated health care delivery system. In September, the health systems' boards voted to approve a merger.
FTC approval was needed to certify that a merger of RGHS and Unity, the region's third-largest and fifth-largest employers respectively, would not stifle competition or violate federal antitrust provisions. At the time of the merger vote, RGHS had some 8,100 staffers and Unity had 5,300.
"The services we provide and the geographic areas where we serve our patients complement one another," said Warren Hern, president and CEO Unity. "As a single, integrated system, we will enhance both the clinical and operational strengths of our organization."
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services on Tuesday revised its outlook to negative, from stable, on bonds issued for Rochester General Hospital, citing the expected impact of the planned merger. In response, Clement said: "Today, the agency reaffirmed our A- rating, though it revised our outlook. The change made by S&P is a typical and expected shift based on the size of the upcoming (merger). … The anticipated S&P outlook shift in no way alters our sense of confidence and enthusiasm about the identified financial opportunities for the new system, or the anticipated benefits that the merger will bring to our community and patients throughout the region."

Don't Give Ahmadinejad a Platform, Put Him in Handcuffs
When Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad arrives in New York to address the UN General Assembly it will be a cruel parody of law and justice that will put us on the wrong side of history. Simply put, this charade ignores and undermines basic principles of domestic, international, and humanitarian law. Ahmadinejad will enter the U.S. despite being inadmissible under American law. He will address the United Nations General Assembly despite being in violation of its UN Charter and international law. And, he will be indulged by universities, institutes, and the media, thereby sanitizing his crimes and mocking the suffering of the Iranian people.

New Ways To Layer Everyday Pieces
It may not be akin to reinventing the wheel, but we guarantee you'll find something in here that you'll want to try today, tonight, or in the very near future.
Photo:Arty Filles Sweater
We've been secretly layering tights under our pants since our school uniform days, but when we saw this Arty Filles look, we instantly forgot why we were ever ashamed about it. Follow her lead and break out the cuffed, baggy jeans you stashed until ankle-baring weather, and keep the tights in the same color family as your boots.
Spanx Best for Boots Uptown Tight End Tights ($42) in Black
Zara High Heel Ankle Boots With Zip ($119) in Black
Photo:The Northern Light
Cocktail-length dresses are only for the brave in colder temperatures, but toss on a long, fluffy cardigan and an oversized blazer, as seen here on Hedvig Opshaug of The Northern Light, and it transforms your frock into a warm office look that you can wear straight to dinner. Once layered, if you can't lift your arms, you need to pick a larger blazer.

Lover Pyramid Cotton-Blend Lace Dress ($450) in Black
Photo:Man Repeller
A thin turtleneck provides the ideal canvas for serious statement accessories. With this look from Leandra Medine of Man Repeller as your guide, layer your thinnest turtleneck under an oversized plaid button down, pop the collar, throw on a chunkier top sweater, and finish with every piece of statement jewelry you own.
Topman Plaid Flannel Shirt ($25) in Green
Lord and Taylor Merino Wool Turtleneck Top ($50) in Aluminum Heather

Another way to incorporate a feminine dress into your winter wardrobe is wearing it over jeans, as shown in Shini Park of Park and Cube's outfit. Pick a filmy slip dress that hits at mid-thigh, top with an oversized turtleneck, and allow the wisps of the dress to flutter as you walk.

The color and texture contrast in Sara Strand's look packs a serious punch, not to mention some welcomed insulation. To emulate, layer your button-down under a leather shell, or why not try the concept in dress form? Choose a leather dress that is loose and structured, and a slightly longer shirtdress (around 3 inches longer) so that the exposed tails look intentional.
Wells Grace Tessa Vegan Shift Dress ($50) in Black
Rag and Bone Prairie Dress ($495) in White
Perfect for your next evening out: wear a deep v-neck sweater over your lace-trimmed camisole and slip on a slim-fitting blazer as seen in Charlotte Hellberg of Chaloth's look. Finish with an oversized blazer and you can gradually peel off the layers as you thaw out.
Theory Lanai Blazer in Bistretch Cotton Blend ($355) in Black
Vero Moda Lace Panel Cami ($32) in Black
Photo:Arty Filles
Rather than reaching for a long-sleeved henley, substitute it with a high, crew neck knit and allow it to peak out from a sweater with a looser neckline. The gray and camel combination here on Arty Filles is ideal with medium blue denim for weekend errands.

3rd Dimension Of The First Kind
One of my first experiences with 3D was a movie called "13 Ghosts." The 3D effects weren't that great back then but they were enough to make an impact and get me hooked for the rest of my life. So through the years I sought out every kind of 3D stuff I could find. From movies to paper goods and glasses as you will see. When I was living in L.A. a couple of my artist friends turned me on to this kool cat by the name of Ray Zone, probably one of the best 3D artists I've ever seen. If you get a chance check his stuff out. So sit back put your 3D glasses on and enjoy.......
(Playboy magazine did a poor attempt at doing a 3D issue this month. Basically, it sucks and don't waste your money.)
(Yes they even did 3D nudes back in the day)
(Here is a small sample of my collection of 3D stuff)

When I was young
Although having many cars when I was young this was my first real hot rod. A 1932 Ford Pick-up truck. It had an early Old's motor, four carbs, a 39 top loader with Lincoln Zepher gears, and it hauled ass!!
A friend of mine in the 70's wanted my truck for a movie for a background car. At the time I was working and couldn't take any time off. Little did I know the movie was "American Graffiti". So after seeing the movie I took the fenders off and this kind of came my "Graffiti Coupe".
Check me out... standing next to my truck. I even had tattoo's back then.

How kool started for me....
Monday, May 3, 2010
Here it goes... the first blog
Basically, I got started with the influence of Von Dutch and Big Daddy Roth, but took it to a whole other level. Over the years I've come a long way from the 60's when I painted with spray paint cans and felt tip markers, and painting murals on vans and airbrushing T-shirts at fairs and car events. Now most of my work is done digitally using my Wacom board attached to my new Mac. When I miss the crazy fumes I'm still known to fling some paint on a car, t-shirt, or canvas.
Music is a huge influence on my daily life as well as my artwork. When I'm not playing music in a band or in my studio, you can bet your ass there are tunes coming from my computer or stereo. Jazz, punk, old R&B and of course surf mostly from the 60's are normally on a loop in my studio.
In the late 60's motorcycles and outlaw motorcycle clubs were a huge influence in my life. The roar of the motors the flash of the chrome and the obnoxious attitude as well as the freedom of the road lured me in and changed and me forever. After that, while living in Hawaii in the early 70's, I studied the art of Tiki's and the surf movement, which is still obvious in my Tiki paintings and products. But I didn't stop there! Monsters, chicks, aliens, hot rods and pretty much everything I can think of show up on my canvas or computer screen now. Basically you never know what I'm going to come up with….
Can you dig it? If so keep checkin back on this blog and see what I'm up to and enlighten you to what I'm really all about.

Saturday Night Live produced a parody skit making light of the new Netflix documentary series "Wild Wild Country." The documentary series gives an in-depth look at the formation of Rajneeshpuram outside the small town of Antelope, Oregon in the 1980s.
The Rajneesh society worshiped the teachings of the spiritual leader Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. The followers called themselves sannyasins.
While the show highlights the turmoil and violence surrounding the cult, the SNL skit takes a more humorous approach. Actors Nasim Pedrad, Kate McKinnon, and Beck Bennett impersonate serious sannyasins from the show and reflect their passion for the religion's uprising.
Meanwhile, actor Kenan Thompson pretends to be a member who was just there for the nudity and sexual acts. Thompson's character is convinced the cult is a gang.
While the other actors in the skit give convincing portrayals of the real characters, Thompson gives a new, laughable, perspective on what some might think drew followers to the cult.

Limitations with multiple domains
When you add a domain to your managed Google Account, you need to keep in mind some limitations so that you can set up the primary and secondary domains correctly. The following topics discuss different features for primary and secondary domains.
Tip: Google uses the name of your primary domain as the name for your organization as a whole. This is the organization name referenced in the sharing options that users see. When you add other domains, you might want to change your organization name to a more inclusive name.
Google Admin console
- You can't set different policies or configuration settings for different domains directly. However, you can put all users from one domain into an organizational unit and all users from another domain into a different unit, and then apply different policies to each organizational unit.
- You can specify only one logo for your domains. The same logo appears for users in all domains that are part of your account.
Domain names and aliases
- Domain aliases are only applied automatically to users with an account in the primary domain. Secondary domains may leverage these aliases; however, they must be manually assigned from the G Suite Admin panel or using the API.
- G Suite account merge is not supported. Some current G Suite customers with multiple domains have separate G Suite accounts for each domain. Google does not currently support merging multiple G Suite accounts into a single multiple domain account.
- Migration from domain aliases is not supported. Some current G Suite customers use domain aliases for their non-primary domains. Google does not currently support the conversion of domain aliases into multi domain accounts.
- Secondary domains can't be redirected to a "naked" URL. See more about Setting up a naked domain address
- In the legacy free edition of G Suite, secondary domains are not supported. The legacy free edition of G Suite only supports domain aliases. All the other restrictions tied to domain aliases apply.
Account access URLs
- You cannot create a global URL for accessing your Google service. Users access their managed Google Account with a URL that includes the domain name from their email address, for example http://docs.google.com/a/subsidiaryA.com. You can't provide a global URL that users from all domains share.
Google Drive (G Suite only)
You can't restrict sharing to users in a single domain. Sharing options are based on the organization as a whole (or organizational units with some G Suite editions), not individual domains. With G Suite Enterprise, G Suite Business, G Suite for Education, or G Suite for Nonprofits, you can create an organizational unit for everyone at a particular domain and then restrict sharing for that organizational unit.
To share a document with the users in a single domain (or any other subset of users), create a Google Group that includes all the users and share the document with that group.
Google Sites (G Suite only)
- Searches for sites return sites only in the same domain as the user. For example, a user with an address in a secondary domain will not find sites created in the primary domain.
Google App Engine
- Applications that use Google App Engine are not available for users at non primary domains.

Christopher Quarles tested HIV positive after he noticed that the person with whom he was in a relationship was dodging questions about HIV status. Now, after being positive for almost five years, and undetectable for three, Christopher works as a community health specialist and makes HIV prevention his 24-hour-a-day/seven-day-a-week job.
Christopher left his home in South Carolina because of a broken family dynamic, but knows a lot about making his own family structure. He is a member of the House of Khan in New York City's vibrant ballroom scene, and walks runway under the guidance of his mentor, Luna. He came to Manhattan barely able to afford the subway, but now enjoys an independent life with friends around him and his dog always by his side.
Can you start by describing how you found out that you were HIV positive?
Well, I found out that I was HIV positive back in November of 2008. It was a year after coming out, and it happened really fast. I didn't even expect for this to happen to me, because I was dating someone I really trusted for a year and some change. And, I don't know, it just seems that everything started to go downhill, because we started getting into these arguments. I wanted to move out. He told my parents that I'm gay. I had to deal with that and then a few months down the line, I found out in November that I was positive and I didn't even know how to take it. I found out two days after Thanksgiving.
Was it a routine testing?
It was a "reassuring" test. I wanted to be sure, because I had a feeling that something wasn't right.
Right. And you said that this was in 2008, so you were 20 at the time?
I was 19.
So when you first heard that you were positive, what was the first feeling that came to mind?
The first feeling that came to mind was ... nothing. I thought absolutely nothing. No, wait, I take that back. I thought I was on a Real World episode, because the way that it was given to me, I don't know, I just had no reaction. I actually didn't have any reaction until last year.
You were diagnosed in 2008 and it didn't really hit you until 2012?
It hit me, but it hit me like -- OK, this is a wake-up call. Like, get yourself together. Stop trusting in everyone. Focus on yourself. So, that was what I did. I had a few people help me out through the stages of getting to where I'm at now. But, it was an OK experience. For some reason, I was listening to this song and it made me go back to that time when I was diagnosed, and it was like all those tears that I wanted to cry after being the only one that was dealing with this, and I don't have that much support. It was a relief. Like, OK, I made it this far -- I've done so much in the past four years that I'm able to just let this out. Because I don't know where these tears are coming from! But, they just came out of nowhere.
Before you were diagnosed, you said you had a feeling and that's what led you to get tested. Did you realize that you were at risk for HIV at the time? Was it something that was on your mind?
It didn't hit my mind until the day me and my ex had sex. It was the whole interaction. I'll give a brief description of how it happened. OK, we were having sex. And we really didn't use condoms like that. But he never ejaculated inside of me -- that was never the case. So, the specific day, we were trying new positions, things that I was still new at, because I was still new to the whole being gay and everything. So, I did this new position, and I guess I was doing it well, and he nutted inside of me and his whole facial expression -- and I still remember this after five years, and it's so crazy -- his reaction was "Wow, I nutted in you," and I was like, "But you're OK, right?"
"Oh yeah, I'm fine."
"OK, cool."
But, the day after, I was looking back on that moment, and I was like, "For you to be someone who says you love me, when you nutted in me, it was like you were nervous." And it wasn't just any type of regular nervous, because he knew that I was OK. It was like, "OK, wow, I really think I infected you." After it had been taught that, "Oh well, he's positive, look out for him, just watch out for yourself." I asked the question, if he was, and he gave me the answer that, no, he wasn't. So, I went with that answer, instead of having him go get tested; I was just very gullible at that age.
As your story tells, you know who you got HIV from.
Yeah, I know exactly where it came from.
Have you spoken to him about it?
We've had the conversation and every time we have the conversation, it's always an argument. He uses this famous line, "Oh, I'll get my results." Or, "I'll get my mother to show you my results." Or, "I'm gonna get my results and I'm gonna give them to my mom and she's gonna call you." But, it's like, hold on, you're older than me. You're going on 28, 29. Why is your mother involved in you getting an HIV test? And, if it was that serious, you could just show me the results. I'm still waiting to see the results. I still haven't seen them. And the last argument we got into was last year, because I did a spotlight story on me being in the ballroom scene and me living with HIV, and my experience -- I explained that I was with this person, he made me feel this way, and I came to find out it was a completely different story. Things twisted, things turned and I ended up being the hurt one at the end of the situation.
There was a ball down there a few years ago called D-Up and my car was down there. I guess my friends seen it and they went back and showed him the post and he saw the whole thing on the back and he said, "Who are you talking about, in the picture?" And I said, "Well, it was you." I have no reason to lie about it, I know it was you. I was not sleeping with anyone else; it was you. I just wanted you to admit to it. If you had admitted it to me, I would have been fine with it. But the fact that you are still going around, tricking other people, making it seem that you are HIV negative when you're not, it doesn't sit well with me, because I don't want anyone else to fall head over heels for you like I did. And I know that this still happens to this day, because he's still a hot commodity. But, it's like, I don't understand, he'll just use that, and it doesn't sit well with me, but I've learned to just let it go, because it's not about you anymore, it's about me.
And you're working on yourself.
Right, so it's like, I don't even stress it. The only time I talk about it is when I have interviews like this. It's more so I'm just disgusted by it than anything else.
Who was the first person that you told about your diagnosis?
The first person I told was my best friend Stacy, and Stacy told his boyfriend Tommy. Those were the first two that actually knew. I actually spoke to my mom about it and I didn't like the reaction I got. It made me kinda like put a shield up against her, as well. Because the fact that you're like, "I don't have time to talk about this," and I'm your child, really hurt me. Until this day, we still don't really talk about it, but you tell my "family" and the whole town that, "Oh, well, he's living with AIDS." After you've had the explanation and you know what I'm going through, how things are going, but you still look at it as "AIDS." It really shows me people's education and it shows me how much people want to know and learn about it.
Down South is just, I don't know. Maybe that's the reason I'm so distant from my family and I'm here in New York, because I feel like I have no support and I will never have support. Even four or five years now and they're still not supportive. I'm doing well, and they're still not supportive. I don't understand.
When you say "down South," where are you from?
South Carolina. I moved to New York from North Carolina in 2010.
Where is your relationship with your family now? Is it at the same point as when you disclosed?
It's gotten worse. It's to the point now where, yeah, I tell my mother some words. I felt bad at first, but then I don't feel bad. Like, you know, I've done the reaching out, the apologizing for things that I did as a child, that as adults we should learn to let go. But the fact that you're still holding onto it and you're holding it over my head, I don't have time for that. I don't want to be in a depressed state, because I really care about my family. I love my family. I was always the one to try to keep everything together, because my family's known for arguing. They're known for all that bickering and stuff. And I just didn't -- I got along with everyone. My mom, she just puts stuff in people's heads and I'm just not willing to entertain that anymore.

abscess(redirected from facial subcutaneous abscess)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia.
- Blood flow to the area increases.
- The temperature of the area increases due to the increased blood supply.
- The area swells due to the accumulation of water, blood, and other liquids.
- It turns red.
- It hurts, because of the irritation from the swelling and the chemical activity.
Causes and symptoms
- skin abscesses by normal skin flora
- dental and throat abscesses by mouth flora
- lung abscesses by normal airway flora, pneumonia germs, or tuberculosis
- abdominal and anal abscesses by normal bowel flora
Specific types of abscesses
- Carbuncles and other boils. Skin oil glands (sebaceous glands) on the back or the back of the neck are the ones usually infected. The most common germ involved is Staphylococcus aureus. Acne is a similar condition of sebaceous glands on the face and back.
- Pilonidal abscess. Many people have as a birth defect a tiny opening in the skin just above the anus. Fecal bacteria can enter this opening, causing an infection and subsequent abscess.
- Retropharyngeal, parapharyngeal, peritonsillar abscess. As a result of throat infections like strep throat and tonsillitis, bacteria can invade the deeper tissues of the throat and cause an abscess. These abscesses can compromise swallowing and even breathing.
- Lung abscess. During or after pneumonia, whether it's due to bacteria [common pneumonia], tuberculosis, fungi, parasites, or other germs, abscesses can develop as a complication.
- Liver abscess. Bacteria or amoeba from the intestines can spread through the blood to the liver and cause abscesses.
- Psoas abscess. Deep in the back of the abdomen on either side of the lumbar spine lie the psoas muscles. They flex the hips. An abscess can develop in one of these muscles, usually when it spreads from the appendix, the large bowel, or the fallopian tubes.

Staphylococcus aureus and group A hemolytic streptococcus are the most common pathogens.
Typically, a history of pharyngitis is elicited. This is followed by high fever, dysphagia, and refusal to eat. The condition progresses to respiratory distress with hyperextension of the head ("sniffing position"), tachypnea, labored breathing, and drooling. An exquisitely tender bulge in the pharyngeal wall is usually evident.
A retropharyngeal abscess, if fluctuant, should be treated with incision and drainage. If recognized before becoming fluctuant, the abscess should be treated with antibiotics, intravenously administered if the patient is unable to swallow.

Ain't competition grand? In the race to have the most full featured Instagram client for Windows Phone, we now have a few developers working on various projects. While we told you Instagraph was updated today with Windows Phone 7.x support, Itsdagram is doing quite a few maneuvers too.
Daniel Gary, the developer behind the app, expects the paid version to go live this Friday. For those who paid for the early beta version, no worries as that carries over to this release so there will be no need to repurchase.
About a week later, Gary expects to release a full-featured free version that is ad-supported. That seems like a great compromise for those who balk at paying developers money for apps (we're the opposite: we gladly pay not to see garish ads).
The version coming out will be a few steps behind the current beta that some of us are enjoying, but we figured we would tease you with some of those new features (those screenshots are the latest redesigns):
- Double tap in image to like/unlike
- If an image has a red background, you like it, white means you haven't yet
- Tap and hold on a list of images to alternate between Timeline view and Grid view
- New filter engine with custom filters
- Comment/Like count on the main page/image lists.
- Profile page. Tap your image to update your profile picture. Changing password coming in next update.
- Photos of You and Liked photos on your profile page
- Commenting from feed view
That's of course in addition to the previous updates that added notification support (Live Tile, detailed Lockscreen info, Lockscreen counter, Toast Notifications) and the ability to comment. Gary is also expected to soon add contact auto-complete support as well—a move that is really dotting his I's and crossing his t's.
The inclusion of square-cropping and a selection of unique filters (non-Aviary) should also make many who yearn for a 100% full-Instagram client quite happy (we dig the filter choices but of course you can still use "pure" aka no filter or bring your own).
We're confident that Itsdagram will get through certification once again though we're still uncertain about if (and how) Instagram will respond to the app on the Store.
We'll of course let you know as soon as version 1.0 is live in the Store for purchase. Stay tuned.

NEW YORK – The Rangers were hoping that a New York-area goaltender was going to be the difference-maker in this Stanley Cup Final.
But they were not counting on that goalie being Jonathan Quick of the Los Angeles Kings.
Quick, a Connecticut native who grew up a Rangers fan, continued to be a primary factor in the Kings' success as he made 32 saves to power Los Angeles to a 3-0 win that leaves the Kings one win away from winning their second Stanley Cup championship in the past three seasons.
"He was unbelievable tonight," said Kings defenseman Drew Doughty. "I thought it was his best game of the playoffs. ... They could have easily gotten back in the playoffs if not for some of the saves he made."
It was the first pro game Quick ever played in Madison Square Garden, located an hour from Darien Ice Rink, where he grew up playing youth hockey. He idolized former Rangers goalie Mike Richter.
BOX SCORE: Kings 3, Rangers 0
"I think it plays a part, being on this type of stage," said Kings captain Dustin Brown. "Being from this area is a big deal to anyone who plays here. And the guy at the other end of the ice is a pretty good goaltender and that motivates Quickie because he is a competitor."
The way Quick played in Game 3 is how he looked throughout the 2012 playoffs when he won the Conn Smythe Trophy. Rangers coach Alain Vigneault called Quick "the best player on the ice."
"Maybe he didn't have to stand on his head like he did in 2012, but tonight he stood on his head," Doughty said. "He's always is our backbone. He always is."
Brown said he doesn't even look up anymore when Quick makes a highlight reel save because it is a common occurrence.
"I used to (look)," he said. "The best example would be at the Olympics when I see other guys react to (his saves) and I'm just sitting there because I've played with him long enough and he's made enough of those saves that I kind of expect him to."
For most of this postseason, Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist has been the NHL's most heralded player. But in this series, the Kings have made King Henrik look ordinary while Quick has made a bushel of big saves.
MORE: Kings take 3-0 series lead
KINGS: Carter scores with 0.8 seconds left in first
"He's a big, big part of the reason we are here," Brown said. "He's a goaltender that makes big saves at big times."
In Game 3, Quick made the usually loud New York's Madison Square Garden seem as quiet as a monastery as he made 17 saves in the second period. His goal-mouth stick save on Derick Brassard seemed one part luck and two parts Defense Against the Dark Arts. It was wizard-like.
"It is not shocking," Brown said. "He's been doing this the whole playoffs."
Quick's numbers do not sit as pretty as Lundqvist's impressive overall stats, but he is winning this battle with Lundqvist.
When the Kings won in 2012, Quick was the star of the show. He has been less noticeable in this run because the Kings are scoring goals like they are the 1980s Edmonton Oilers or the early 1990s Pittsburgh Penguins.
With the Kings scoring better than four goals per game for the last nine games, Los Angeles hasn't needed Quick to be spectacular. Still, he's been quite good. Given his team's defensive lapses at times, it is impressive that his goals against is under 2.00 for this series.
It's all about quickness for the Kings goalie. He flies around his crease with panther-like agility. But when Quick is sharp, pucks usually hit him square in the chest. It looks as if he's been parked in that spot for 30 minutes, even though he just arrived a half-second before. That's when you know his positioning is near perfect and he's playing with overflowing confidence. That's how he was in Game 3.
Quick didn't want to play along with those wanting to crown him king of goalies after that performance. He said his only objective all night was to make "one save at a time."
But he did want to have some fun with those reporting he had never played in MSG before. When he was 12, he was part of a peewee team that got on the ice.
"We did a shootout in between periods," Quick said. "To all you guys that said I never played here, I did play here once."
He won't win the Conn Smythe this year, but he's been among the team's best players in this tournament.
The Rangers did score four goals against Quick in Game 2, but they have not solved him. The aura of dominance that Lundqvist had over opponents in the first three rounds seems to have evaporated.
The Kings seem confident they can push the puck past him often enough to win games in this series
"They found a way to put the puck past a real good goaltender (in Game 3), and we couldn't do it," said Rangers coach Alain Vigneault.
Even though the Rangers outshot Los Angeles 32-15, right now it feels as if the Rangers are simply throwing darts at Quick. It doesn't seem as if they know quite how to beat him.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
"A political bombshell!" That's how Israeli media described the drama that transformed Israel's political landscape. Just a day and a half after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced early elections for September, a year ahead of schedule, he did an about-face. In secret negotiations, he brought the opposition and rival Kadima party into the government.
The result is the second-biggest coalition in Israel's history, a super majority with 94 seats in the 120-seat Knesset (parliament). It also solidified Netanyahu's position as Israel's second longest-serving prime minister ever.
Israel has traditionally been ruled by left-wing governments, though it is right-wing governments that have surrendered the most land to Israel's antagonists. But many speculate the new "super-coalition" is about facing down more immediate threats, like Iran.

Problem Statement
Current infrastructure (i.e. The Developer Portal) is inadequate.
Data concerning projects, people, organizations, members, and more is spread across multiple, separate data sources. This makes querying across data challenging. In some cases, data is replicated from one database to another to facilitate some queries while providing an added layer of protection. The database that contains committer information, the so-called "Foundation" database, is kept separate from other systems to provide an added layer of protection against private data being compromised. Bits of that database are replicated into an "Eclipse" database for access from the public website.
Portal is separate from the the resources being managed; this requires a context switch to use. The content displayed in the project summary pages, for example, comes from the portal. When a committer notices that the data in the project summary is incorrect, they must switch into the portal to make the change. Most committers have difficulty (or outright refuse) to make that context switch.
Some management tasks are spread out. Specifying a description for a project, for example, requires that an HTML file be created in the project directory (requires CVS check-in), and then the specification of a URL in the portal. This is very difficult to maintain as it is separated from where and how the description is used, and requires multiple steps with multiple tools to complete. As a result, descriptions tend to be poorly specified, and rarely maintained.
Too much information is not included in or managed by the portal. Project proposals, review documentation, IP logs, are all separate.
Technology Choices
Project management is essentially a document-management and workflow problem. Several solutions exist in this area.
The Eclipse Foundation currently uses Drupal for Eclipse Marketplace, Eclipse Live, and the EclipseCon Website. Several Eclipse Foundation employees are already well-versed in Drupal development, and finding temporary resources with the necessary skills in the local area should be relatively easy and cost-effective. Drupal is based on PHP, a language that is known to most of the Eclipse Foundation staff, and is currently in wide deployment by the Eclipse Foundation.
Perhaps one of the features that weighs most heavily in Drupal's favour is the size of the community behind it (which measures in the hundreds of thousands) and the hundreds (perhaps thousands) of plugins that are available to extend it. The availability of plugins, combined with the relative ease with which Drupal can be extended means that the overall amount of custom code that needs to be maintained should be relatively small (as compared to other solutions that may require more customization).
There are several other options that have been considered, including a handful of Eclipse-based solutions (which would allow us to "eat our own dogfood"). After careful consideration, however, we have determined that we do not have the resources to implement these solutions.
- EMO(ED) - EMO Executive Directory (i.e. Mike)
- EMO(PM) - EMO Project Manager (i.e. Wayne)
- EMO(LC) - EMO Legal Council (i.e. Janet)
- EMO(IP) - EMO Intellectual Property Team
- Proposer
- Committer
Communication Channels
The communication channels used by the system are expected to change with time as technologies and communities evolve. Favoured technologies of the day are Twitter, RSS, and the eclipse.proposals forum.
Drupal 7.2 is used for initial implementation.
The new system will use LDAP for user authentication and for some aspects of authorization. This implementation will be based on work being done in bug 364605 that intends to standardize the entire eclipse.org infrastructure on the LDAP (Bugzilla-based authentication is used for most eclipse.org properties; LDAP is currently only used for committer authentication).
LDAP groups are used for project-based authorization. Users who have committer access to a project are members of an LDAP group that corresponds to the project. This group membership is bound to Drupal authentication via Drupal "organic groups" functionality. Additional authorization schemes are required to handle PMC-access to projects and other corner cases. For more information, see bug 363614.
The following themes will guide the development of the new Project Management Infrastructure:
- Trust committers to do the right thing;
- Once and only once (avoid repeating information);
- Everything is undoable (i.e. revision tracking); and
- Do the simplest thing that can possibly work (avoid complexity)
We assume that committers will always endeavour to do the right thing. Specifically, we give committers leeway to do what they think is right. This, in combination with revision tracking means that mistakes can be easily undone. A committer may, for example, make ill-informed changes to a project's scope that is later reversed by the project lead or PMC.
It would be easy to get mired in multiple layers of approvals for various activities, or complex logic to prevent committers from shooting themselves in the proverbial foot. But such complexity makes the cost of later change and ongoing maintenance prohibitively high.
Note that we make a distinction between committers and general users. We do not--as a general rule--trust the general population to do the right thing. For completeness, we include with the definition of "committers" all those users with roles that permit them access to the project (including project leads, pmc members, EMO staff, etc.)
Requirements and Implementation
Requirements for the new Project Management Infrastructure are detailed in Eclipse Bugzilla (note that requirements are still be added at this time). Eclipse Bugzilla bug 363868, Reimplement the Project Management Infrastructure/Developer Portal, provides the root for the initial effort; all features and functionality planned for the initial release are captured as subtasks.
Overview and Design
Much of the design is captured in Bugzilla (as indicated above).
The model of the system is captured in an Ecore file. Note that the model will continue to evolve as we progress through implementation.
Much of the project management infrastructure revolves around the Project type. Much of the information tracked by a project is represented very simply as fields (e.g. websiteUrl and wikiUrl).
Representation of projects in the new system is not all that different from the old system. The main difference is that we will represent the project description, scope, and retention policy directly with the project.
- Project information can be viewed by anybody;
- Project information can be modified by any project member;
- Values for all URLs represented by a project must point to eclipse.org properties (www, downloads, wiki) unless otherwise specified;
- The project's relationship with Bugzilla is specified as a combination of Bugzilla Product and Component names that can be used to query Bugzilla in arbitrary ways, or provide assistance to a user in creating a bug;
- Text-based fields (description, scope, retention policy) are restricted to a subset of HTML tags:
- Basic text markup, and links;
- Limited use of links is recommended;
- Content is expected to be concise, so there should be no need for heading ("Hn") or structural ("div") tags.
- Description is a short (1-2 paragraph) description of the project that is suitable for displaying on the project summary, on pages that provide an overview of multiple projects, and other places (a consistent, paragraph-based format will make for a very consistent experience);
- Additional information about the project (over and above the information provided in the description) can be obtained from the project web site (websitesUrl);
- Scope is the scope of the project as defined in the project proposal;
- The scope is editable by anybody with access with the caveat that changes to the text are permitted, but changes to the actual meaning of the scope must be vetted by the community via Restructuring Review;
- The retention policy is the formal policy set by the project regarding how they distribute their code, how older versions are retained, archived, etc.; and
- Projects are marked active immediately upon creation, they are marked inactive when terminated.
Issues to be addressed:
- Links to external content;
- Incubation conforming vs. nonconforming;
Person is the generalized term that we use to represent committers, project leads, company representatives, and more.
Very basic information, including a
committerId (UNIX name),
firstName, and
lastName are represented in the instance. A person has zero or more phone numbers, mailing addresses, and email addresses.
Instances of person represent relationships with other types through direct and indirect means. A person optionally tracks a primary employer (
primaryEmployer). Indirectly, an instance has relationships with zero or more Project instances, and zero or more Organization instances; those relationships are represented via Role instances.
Roles define the relationships between a person and zero or more organizations, and zero or more projects;
- Roles have a start and end date (an open end date implies that the person is currently active in the role);
- Additional role types can be added;
A person has zero or more organization roles, e.g.:
- Employee;
- Accounting contact;
- Administrative contact;
- Architecture Council Representative (Strategic Members only);
- Planning Council Representative (Strategic Members only);
- Board representative (Strategic Members only);
- Committer member;
- Company representative;
- Contact person for 24/7 IT support;
- Delegate;
- IT contact;
- Legal contact;
- Marketing contact;
- Membership page editor; and
- Organization alternate display.
A person has zero or more project roles, e.g.:
- Committer;
- Committer Emeritus;
- Project lead;
- PMC Lead (top-level projects only);
- PMC Member (top-level projects only);
- Architecture Council Representative (top-level projects only); and
- Planning Council Representative (top-level projects only).
In the case of a person assuming a committer, project lead, or PMC Member roles, an election is required. Elections are attached directly to the project role.
- The nominee must already have an account;
- An election can only be initiated by any existing project member (committer, project lead, PMC Member, or PMC Lead);
- A user can only be nominated into a role if they do not currently hold that role;
- The nomination criteria must specify suitable merit;
- We can generate a reasonable initial stab at a of merit based on activity in Bugzilla/Git;
- All project members are invited via email to vote;
- Project members vote yes (+1), no (-1), or abstain (0);
- The vote ends when:
- all eligible voters have cast their votes; or
- a full week has passed.
The application code is laid out in a directory structure containing several custom modules (details TBD). The system can be manifested directly from these modules. Modules are self-contained, are self-configuring, and self-updatable.
An installation profile for projects.eclipse.org automates the initial installation and configuration of the system, along with bootstrap data for eclipse.org projects.
Application Lifecycle Management
The Project Management Infrastructure is not itself an Eclipse project.
While under development, the system is deployed in two different configurations: one for eclipse.org and one for Polarsys. A major design point is to permit multiple separate deployments with customization ("Foundation in a box").
Source Control
Drupal presents some interesting source control management issues; it is possible to "code" much of a Drupal-based site without ever writing actual code. Many of the development tools provided for Drupal facilitate the construction of elements that exist directly in the database. When those tools are used--such as the Content Construction Toolkit (CCK)--the results are converted into code and included in the code tree. The code tree is committed into Git.
The main Git repository is currently private to employees of the Eclipse Foundation. This will change as development progresses.
Build and Release
Releases are tagged using standard three-part Eclipse version numbering strategy. The first number, the major version is updated for significant milestones (or when significant API breakage occurs); the second number, or minor version is updated with each release that adds or changes functionality; and the third number, or service version is updated for bugfix or service releases.
Builds are generated by tagging and then extracting (via
git archive) the state of the system. We need to visit this decision as we do not actually use these builds as part of our deployment.
- Deploy first to staging servers for testing;
- When tests pass, deploy to production servers;
- Deploy directly from git (i.e.
git pull);
- Deployment to both projects.eclipse.org and polarsys.org
April 2/2012 - Phase I beta-testing for projects.eclipse.org and PolarSys. Support for maintaining and disseminating project and release information, project proposals, and committer and project lead elections.
May 21/2012 - Phase II beta-testing for projects.eclipse.org and PolarSys. Support for user dashboard, email notification, simultaneous release tracking,
July 2/2012 - Go-live for Eclipse.org

Justin Bieber Celebrates a One-Day Vacay [Pictures, Videos]
Justin Bieber works harder than anyone in the business, but he plays hard too. The controversy-courting heartthrob took a 24-hour break from singing, dancing, promoting and doing weird stuff with iPhones to just relax.
But of course, since this is Biebs we're talking about, he couldn't relax without some sort of a social media presence, so he posted a bunch of photos and videos of his day off.
What'd he do on his 24-hour vacay? He hung out with his crew, caught a turtle, got artistic, watched 'Never Say Never' premiere on MTV and even plugged his upcoming single, 'Heartbreaker.' Take a gander at his shots below, Beliebers!

Candidate presented by: Rev. Timothy J. O'Brien, Director of the Les Aspin Center for Government
Jerry Kleczka has dedicated his life and career to public service. He has been a tireless supporter of his community, the people of Milwaukee, and Marquette University. First elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly at the age of 24, Congressman Kleczka devoted his life to improving the lives of his constituents, especially those in greatest need: the poor, the elderly, and the disadvantaged.
After serving in the State Assembly, he was elected to the Wisconsin State Senate in 1974 and eventually rose to the prominent positions of Assistant Majority Leader and Chairman of the Joint Finance Committee.
In 1984 he was elected to Congress, representing Wisconsin's 4th District. Over the next twenty-one years, Congressman Kleczka made a mark on a number of areas of national policy, including reforming public housing policy, helping to preserve pension benefits for retirees, and reforming the way Supplemental Security benefits are provided. Congressman Kleczka initiated countless projects and programs that directly benefited Milwaukee businesses, workers, and institutions. He has been an active member of numerous community organizations, including the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the Brady Street Area Association, and America's Black Holocaust Museum.
For the later portion of his career, Congressman Kleczka's district included Marquette University. He was directly involved in a number of efforts to help Marquette, and was instrumental in securing funding for the new School of Dentistry facility.
He was a key advocate of establishing Marquette's Les Aspin Center for Government and received its prestigious Founders Award in 1999. During his time in Congress, dozens of students were awarded internships in his office and gained invaluable experience and insight into political processes through his mentoring. Many of these interns became full-time staff members after graduation, and a number have been elected to public office.
After announcing his retirement from Congress in 2004, Congressman Kleczka endowed Marquette with scholarship funds to establish the Jerry Kleczka Internship Program. This generous gift will allow financially needy students the opportunity to intern in state and local government positions in Milwaukee while continuing their studies at Marquette. As a result of this program, future generations of public servants will be able to follow in his footsteps and contribute to the betterment of their communities.
Because of his meritorious public service on behalf of the people of Wisconsin and for his commitment to Marquette University, Congressman Jerry Kleczka is commended for the Marquette degree Doctor of Laws, honoris causa.

Forgive Me
My second song-fiction. Set in Eclipse just after Bella tells Edward that "she can't stand it if [he] leaves her again."
1. Forgive Me by Evanescence
Rating 4.5/5 Word Count 454 Review this Chapter
Can you forgive me again?
I don't know what I said,
But I didn't mean to hurt you.
I saw the pain contort his face, quickly becoming the dominant emotion on his ethereal face. Instantly, the guilt consumed me, took me over and pulled me into the darkness with its horrible, icy grasp.
I heard the words come out.
I thought that I would die.
It hurt so much to hurt you.
Then you looked at me.
You're not shouting anymore.
You're silently broken.
His arms wrapped around me, comforting me. Me of all people, the very person who had just caused him all this pain. The guilt monster also wrapped around me, squeezing me so hard I thought my lungs had collapsed. I was a monster for doing this to him. I wanted to take the words back so bad, and yet knew that, if this worked, I wouldn't regret it as badly.
I'd give anything now.
To cure those words for you.
Each time I say something I regret,
I cry – I don't want to lose you.
But somehow I know that you will never
Leave me (Yeah)
I feel so horrible inside. I was such a horrible, unbelievably evil person for purposely hurting the one I loved, even if it was to protect him from getting hurt. I mentally laughed, a slow, harsh laugh. I'm hurting him to keep from him getting hurt. Oh yes, Bella, you are a genius . . .
He hasn't broken the silence yet. I'm still waiting, waiting for the answer, which I so badly desire, but hate because I know I forced him to say it. But I just can't lose him…
'Cause you were made for me.
Somehow I'll make you see
How happy you make me (Whoah).
I can't live this life
Without you by my side.
I need you to survive.
So stay with me.
You look in my eyes
And I'm screaming inside
That I'm so sorry!
God. He's going to stay. Now the guilt is intermingling with the relief. I got what I wanted. I should be so happy, so grateful, so relieved. So why was the guilt not vanquished?
I knew why.
I had hurt Edward so badly because of my pure selfishness. But, as horrible of a statement as it was…
It was true.
I could not stand losing him, him leaving, having to sit and worry and worry and worry. I just couldn't. So…
I wasn't sure if I could forgive myself. Could he ever forgive me?
Will you forgive me again?
You're my one true friend,
And I never meant to hurt you.

Family Theater
Michigan Avenue and Mechanic Street,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Here are the recollections of young boy, who grew up in Jackson, MI:
The Family Theater was located in downtown Jackson, on or near the corner of Michigan and Mechanic Streets; architect, construction, opening date, and layout details unknown. Closed early '60's.
In its last days it was viewed as forbidding place—a run-down, unsavory, old theater that showed lower-quality movies than its competitors the Michigan and Capitol Theaters, which showed Disney and "reputable" fare. During its last years there were stories of bats flying freely during shows.
Recent comments (view all 4 comments)
According to one source I have found, the Family Theatre @ 113 N Otsego (1920-? 1960) had 500 seats. This Afro-American theatre was owned by Co-operative Theaters of Michigan in 1935-1940.
Further information on the Family Theater:
According to an article which appeared in the Citizen Patriot, April 21, 1913: The "Family Theater" will be the name Jackson's newest amusement house which will open its doors May 4. Frank L. O'Melay, the owner, has decided upon above the name. Carpenters and finishers are now busy on the building, which, when completed when completed will have a seating capacity of 800 persons. Vaudeville and motion pictures will be presented. The lobby, when completed, will be exceptionally completed. The theater will be equipped with washrooms and toilets. Mush attention has been given to the interior lighting of the playhouse and plans are being made for the entrance on East Main Street. The playhouse has been so constructed that it will be cool during the hot days of summer. An excellent orchestra has been engaged to furnish music.
Here's is possibly the last words on the Family Theater, this from the Citizen Pat, 3/18/65
Family Theater Fire Blamed on Intruders A gust-fanned fire which swept the upper portion of the empty Family Theater at 113n. Otsego Wednesday afternoon is believed to have been accidentally started by intruders who used the building to sleep in.
Jackson Fire Chief Leo M. Fox said the firs could have been started by a discarded cigarette or by coals used to ekeep the dwellers warm.
He said that charred papers found on the floor hould have veen used for a bed.
The fire apparently started near the projection room door and ran up the partition.
Most heavily damaged were offices around the projection booth and the small balcony:
The theater, a former livery stable, had been vacant for about two years and is scheduled to be razed under the city's urban renewal program, along with other buildings to which it is connected.
The city bough it in June.
The fire, which at one time was sending sheets of flame and heavy, thick gray smoke through windows directly above the marquee, was brought under control about an hour after the firemen arrived.
Eight fire department vehicles were sent to the scene.
After blasting the face of the fire with high pressure water bursts, the black helmeted, gas masked firemen began making their way int o the theater and to buildings attached to each side of it, all of which front on N. Otsego or E Michigan Avenues.
Other buildings which absorbed quantities of smoke and are due to be deolished along with the theater are the U.S. Trading Store, the Ira Scott upholstery store, and the Royal Banner Cigar Store, once owned by Lyle Burden.
Some patrons in Eddie's Bar, next to the Royal Banner building, took to the sidewalks soon after the fire was discovered aand then slowly drited back after danger of the fire spreading had lessened.
The fire was discvoered about 3 p. m. by Carl Rosiling, a Citizen Patriot employe who alerted Mrs. Robert W. Welman, 3600 Seymour Rd., operator of the Gold Bell Gift Redemption Center, 144 E. Michigan. She called the fire department.
The 800 seat Family Theater was purchased for $24,500 on June 5, 1964, by he city from Daniel C. Haefner and the National Bank of Jackson. Mr. Haefner previously had leased the building to Harry C. Small, 2001 Blen.
Mr. Small said he operated the theater for 20 years beginning in 1943. He said it was formerly a Butterfield theater.

Drive a Ferrari F430 F1 On a Racetrack!
"To say a Ferrari is fast is like saying that water is wet, but the F430 F1 is so much more".
This famous quote from Davide Kluzer, Ferrari's press representative, captures the essence of what makes driving a Ferrari F430 F1 so amazing. From the moment one sits behind the wheel of this pure Italian super pony, they quickly realize the Ferrari F430 F1 is more than just a supercar; the F430 is a work of art. read more >
The Pininfarina-styled aluminum bodywork is reminiscent of the Ferrari racing models of the 1960's, in particular, the Ferrari 156 Grand Prix driven by the late Phil Hill who won the 1961 Formula One World Championship. This exterior design captures Ferrari's extensive racing history down to the smallest details. The front air intakes are considerably larger than those found on the Ferrari F360 (the F430's predecessor). The F430 has raised Enzo-style taillights and a vented rear engine cover, these are only two minute aspects, which contribute to the F430 having a completely different look than the previous F360 model.
The cabin of the F430 blends Ferrari's racing spirit with touches of luxury, suggesting the possibility that this prancing horse could be used as a daily driver. The seats are covered in fine leather that presents an elegant feel with touches of brushed aluminum, which compliment the curves of the dash panel. Large, well-placed paddles mounted on the steering column allow the driver to shift through gears in as little as 150 milliseconds, which is less than half the time it takes for the average human eye to blink.
The driver can customize driving preferences by adjusting the console-mounted manettino, that loosely translates to mean little handle or little manager. This rotary knob has 5 levels; each level alters the stability of the vehicle while also changing the level of aggression. The five positions assist the driver by making adjustments to shock valving, shifting speed and traction-control. In other words, set the level at zero and have full control of the vehicle, or turn the level to 5 and the car practically drives itself.
The engine of the Ferrari F430 is a 4.3L V8, derived from a collaborative effort between Ferrari and Maserati. This new engine took Ferrari in a completely different direction than previous variants of the Dino racing program, first developed in the 1950s. This 60 year development cycle between Dino and Ferrari came to an end with the creation of the 4.3L V8. This motor is expected to replace almost all Dino-derived V12 motors. The 4.3L V8 produces 490 horsepower at an screeching 8,500 rpm, illustrating the F430's high performance pedigree. This allows the F430 to deliver 343 foot pounds of torque, with a top speed of 198 mph. The power plant of the F430 produces a horsepower to liter ratio of 114 bhp per liter. When comparing 0 to 60 times with the F360, Ferrari F430 drops 0 to 60 in just 3.9 seconds, which is 0.4 seconds faster than the F360.
Very seldom in the world of supercars do we get state-of-the-art technology packaged with such an exquisite interior design, superior attention to detail and breathtakingly powerful performance. Fiery Italian supercar passion creates the welds that hold it all together, engendering debate as to whether this is a racecar, a supercar, a luxurious work of art, or just simply the best car ever made. The Ferrari F430 F1 is definitely a vehicle that poses such a question.less >

How 'Afropreneurs' will shape Africa's future
"His full name is Idris Ayodeji Bello, but you might just call him "Afropreneur."
That's the buzzword adopted by the young Nigerian to describe the bright, independent and tech savvy entrepreneurs using creative thinking and the power of innovation to take over Africa's economic destiny.
"Over time Africa has relied on government and big multinationals for solutions -- but they're not coming," explains Bello." READ MORE

Publish What You Buy: Charles Kenny on the Case for Routine Publication of Government Contracts
"Your tax dollars bought that bridge, that road, that school. But unless you live in Colombia or the UK, you probably can't look at the contracts for these things bought on your behalf. My guest on this week's Wonkcast is Charles Kenny, senior fellow here at CGD and we are discussing his latest work: "Publish What You Buy: The Case for Routine Publication of Government Contracts."
Charles estimates that government contracts with private firms account for about 15% of the global economy or some $9 trillion a year. He argues that routinely publishing these contracts online is a no-brainer, good for citizens, governments, and the private sector. He also reviews (and easily dispatches) two arguments against such disclosure. We close by discussing some simple mechanisms for rapidly expanding disclosure efforts already underway in a handful of jurisdictions, including Miami-Dade County, Florida, in the United States."

Paving the Way for More Citizen Participation in Resource Governance
"On 5-7 September 2012, a consortium of RWI partners and allies organized a national mining, oil and gas conference in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. More than 70 participants from Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Tanzania attended the event, called "Extractive Industry, Sovereignty and Sustainable Development."
The national conference had a focus on Tanzania but drew lessons and experiences from other countries in the continent. Local communities and citizen groups focused on governance are working to ensure Tanzania's new constitution contains provisions for greater transparency and accountability in the management of natural resources and protection of public interests."

Mobile Phones and Business in Africa
"There are so many new applications of mobile technology in developing economies that it is hard to keep abreast of them. From time to time, I try to highlight a few that I think are particularly innovative and promising. In July, I wrote briefly about a non-profit, Zidisha, that makes it possible for anyone with an Internet connection and an online payment method to make a loan to an entrepreneur in Kenya or Senegal, among other countries. Would-be lenders can view entrepreneurs' projects online and make a loan to a project of their choosing; Zidisha then transfers the money directly to the borrower. In Kenya, Zidisha takes the direct payment concept even further, sending a loan over Kenya's mobile money system through a borrower's cell phone." READ MORE

Radical efficiency – what's that all about?
"This spring I got chance to visit NESTA, the UK's innovation foundation, to learn about their work on radical efficiency and improving the delivery of public services.
Now they have synthesized some lessons and observations from their work in several countries in a new publication: Getting Ready for Radical Efficiency (pdf). The context is interesting because the UK is in the midst of a transformation as it decentralizes decision-making power to communities and local government and tries to put communities in charge of planning and let people know how their money is spent.
The NESTA publication gets it right from the very fundamentals: begin by getting new perspectives from community members on the nature of local challenges." READ MORE

Berkshire Hathaway, the holding company controlled by billionaire Warren Buffett, said Wednesday it has bought back $1.2 billion of its Class A stock and set the stage for future share repurchases.
Continue Reading Below
The move by the giant holding company lifted its Class A shares by almost 2% in morning trading.
Omaha-based Berkshire said it has purchased 9,200 shares at $131,000 per share from the estate of an unnamed "long-time shareholder."
The company said its board of directors signed off on the move while simultaneously raising the price limit for repurchases to 120% of book value. Berkshire said it may buy back more shares in the market or through direct offerings at no more than that limit.
The buyback comes as countless companies are returning cash to shareholders through various moves, including raised dividends, one-time dividend payouts and share repurchases.
Earlier this month Moody's (NYSE:MCO) raised its dividend by 25%, while online travel company Expedia (NASDAQ:EXPE) approved a special cash dividend.
Class A shares of Berkshire, which owns businesses involved in everything from insurance to railroads, climbed 2.46% in recent trading to $134,047. The stock has rallied almost 17% so far this year.
