Milestones: 1965
On July 2, Title VII becomes "the law of the land" and EEOC opens for business with a budget of $2.25 million and approximately 100 employees, many of them detailed from other federal agencies. EEOC's primary responsibility is to receive and investigate charges of unlawful employment practices, determine if reasonable cause exists to believe the charge is true, and if the agency determines there has been a violation of law, to attempt to reach a voluntary settlement through conciliation.
In its first year, Title VII applies to employers with 100 or more employees, with coverage phased in over the next three years to reach employers with as few as 25 or more employees. Title VII also applies to labor unions and employment agencies but does not apply to federal, state, or local government employers; nor does it apply to educational institutions. It was projected in its first year that EEOC would receive approximately 2,000 charges. Instead, EEOC receives 8,852 charges. A backlog of charges to be investigated is created after only one year of agency operations.
Under the original Title VII, EEOC has no authority to bring lawsuits of its own. However, private individuals may file actions in court and EEOC can recommend to the Department of Justice that it bring pattern and practice lawsuits.
EEOC Chairman Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr. appoints Charles T. Duncan, an African American Howard University law professor, as EEOC's first General Counsel.
EEOC begins to formulate guidance to give meaning to Title VII's broad prohibitions against discrimination. EEOC officials initially note that there is virtually no legislative history explaining Congress's intent in outlawing sex discrimination.
The lack of Congressional guidance and lack of public consensus result in the Commission initially struggling with the issue of whether sex segregated classified advertising -- separate "help wanted" advertisements for men and women -- are unlawful under Title VII given that it is unlawful for newspapers to have separate classified job advertising sections for white and blacks. The Commission eventually rules that it is unlawful under Title VII to have separate "help wanted" sections for men and women, despite the strong protest of newspaper publishers.
The Commission's first determination on a charge holds that any corporate policy requiring firing of female employees when they marry violates Title VII.
More than half the states already have some form of fair employment practices laws outlawing discrimination based on race, sex or national origin. Title VII requires EEOC to defer charges it receives to state or local Fair Employment Practices Agencies (FEPAs) so that attempts to resolve disputes are first undertaken under local laws. Charges which are filed with EEOC and then deferred to state FEPAs are called dual filed charges. EEOC determines that 32 agencies should be designated as "deferral agencies" for dual filed charges. One of the first EEOC cooperative activities is a research project to study the operations of 11 state FEPAs.

They spent time and money writing and supporting the compiler in the first place, that's the value they add. You could write your own code in assembler, but that is a)likely to cost you a lot more time in the first place and b) unlikely to run as fast in any case; so your total cost "to get the job done" is substantially lower (presumably) using their compiler than not using their compiler. As far as other vendors go: they have other goals and cost recovery/profit motivations. For example, Intel wants people to use their processors. It's in their interest to "give away" the compiler, especially if it's tied just to their processor (and doesn't generate code compatible with VIA or AMD). One might ask why Intel charges anything at all (if they do..), and in fact, why they don't actually pay people to use their compilers, if only to get more Intel processors/products visibility. (Well, actually, they DO pay people.. they subsidize educational instutions with free/low priced hardware, for instance) >>Considering that the monthly electric bill alone for a 256 processor >>cluster is on the order of $3000 (150W/CPU*256 CPU * 720 hr/month = >>27,658 kWh/month, 0.11/kWh) (not even worrying about facilities costs >>(AC, etc.), the extra $1500 in license fees is pretty small compared to >>$36K/yr in direct operating costs (especially, since the direct cost is >>probably more like $100K/yr.. rent, etc.). > >$1500 buys me another node. What value does the Lahey runtime add to the >system over and above what an Intel or Portland or even a GNU compiler >suite / runtime provides? Without knowing for sure, perhaps Lahey's compiler (or, more probably, their runtime libraries) runs 1% faster.. that's a better deal on a 100 processor cluster than the extra node, because it is the gift that keeps on giving.. no capital cost for the extra node, no incremental cost for power (300W*8760 hrs/yr >> $300/yr in electricity), etc, etc.etc.. Ultimately, though, it's just Lahey's way of pricing software, compared to how other people do it.. Either you like it or you don't, but, in the overall scheme of things, there's no real moral high ground here.. and, to be a bit of a Pangloss about it: it could be worse.. you could be paying for the software on a "per use" basis as advocated by some large consumer oriented companies. >John >

Ideas in Food + Atelier
I don't write about other people's food often.
I have to admit that I am hard to please.
I had a fabulous dinner last night.
You must:
go to atelier.
read ideas in food.
follow foodie prints here and here.
It was more than just a meal, it was a visual exploration. I want to one day do food this beautiful.
I took the time to think, and smell and admire. I ate 15 courses even though it was about 3 hours before my usual 'dinner time'
I had a great 'date', my most fantastic moment was when Don served me pieces of the whole fish to share family style - it is great to reconnect with the person in front of you and stop staring at your plate. It is also fantastic to look up at the person across you and simply smile, no words needed, because you are both blown away by it all.
It was also heartwarming to meet chefs who are still humble. I have been following Alex's blog for awhile and was a fan of atelier before it even opened, I love people who are adventurous, curious. It just gets your imagination flowing and obviously makes you smile.
**ps. will send a massive email with grapefruit bar recipe, had no idea i would get such a response!

Dining with you was an absolute pleasure, Marysol.
The amazing food...the wonderful company...the conversation at our lively table (of culinary professionals and little ol' me)...the genuine laughter...the pauses to just take in what we were served before tasting texture or flavour...it was an evening I'll not soon forget!

Was a most lovely evening with a most lovely woman. Thank you.

I can only imagine the food you ate and explored last night. Sounds like a wonderful experience -- I missed out on something! Although last night's meal was a collaboration with guest chef Alex from Ideas in Food, I imagine that the presentation was consistent with Atelier's style. At Atelier, in addition to being a visual exploration, the food is a culinary adventure. After eating there, I'm full, but I don't feel like I've had a meal. Instead, I've experienced new taste and texture sensations and combinations. I've savoured flavours and felt the food. I've been challenged. It's as much a gustatory as an intellectual experience. I need to go back soon!

FERRISBURGH — Vermont Electric Co. (VELCO) recently made good on its September pledge to reimburse five Champlain Valley towns for property tax revenue they had lost since 2009 due to a VELCO mistake on how it assessed property in those towns and in Shelburne.
Three Addison county towns received a total of about $127,000 in early October, with the lion's share going to Ferrisburgh, which got a check in the mail for $72,619.12.

FERRISBURGH — Vermont Electric Power Co. has agreed to pay a total of about $200,000 to five Vermont towns — including Ferrisburgh, New Haven and Vergennes — to make up for property tax revenue those towns have lost since 2009 due to a what a VELCO official called a "miscalculation" on how it assessed property in those five towns and Shelburne.
MONTPELIER — The Public Service Board on Aug. 26 lifted a stay on soil-disturbing activity in certain areas of the Addison Rutland Natural Gas Project, a 49-mile pipeline from Colchester to Middlebury and Vergennes.
The board ordered the stay July 25 after state officials became concerned that Vermont Electric Power Company (VELCO) utility poles near the pipeline route contained a dangerous chemical that could have leaked into water sources.
VERMONT — The state's transmission utility has set a price for Vermont Gas to use its utility corridor as part of Phase 1 of its natural gas pipeline extension through Addison County.
Vermont Gas spokesman Steve Wark late last month said the company intends to pay $450,000 for about 51 acres within the utility corridor. The price includes access roads, he said.
MONKTON — Does soil along the VELCO power line route in Monkton contain unsafe levels of a hazardous chemical, and if so, who is responsible for cleaning it up?
Those questions were the subject of a meeting among a dozen Monkton residents and representatives from the departments of Public Service, Health and Environmental Conservation, as well as VELCO on the evening of Aug. 7 at the Monkton Firehouse.
MONKTON — After weeks of heated dispute between Vermont Gas Systems and Monkton town officials over the path of a proposed natural gas pipeline, the parties involved may be nearing a compromise — though not all residents are satisfied.

DENVER -- Reliever Josh Outman was recalled Friday from the Colorado Rockies' Triple A affiliate in Colorado Springs, giving the big league team another left-hander in the bullpen.
In a corresponding move, the Rockies optioned right-handed reliever Chris Volstad to Colorado Springs.
Rockies manager Walt Weiss said the club wanted to bolster its left-handed bullpen depth because of a series of upcoming games against teams with batting lineups heavy with left-handed hitters.
"More than anything, it gives us another left-hander in the bullpen and Josh has been throwing well," Weiss said. "It gives us our best shot, especially here in the near future. Chris didn't perform poorly but he was in a situation where he wasn't getting a lot of consistent work. So, hopefully, he'll go down there and get that consistent work and I imagine he'll be with us again at some point this year."
Outman was 1-0 with a 0.84 ERA in five games for the Sky Sox. He had 14 strikeouts in 10 2/3 innings.
Volstad was 0-0 with an 8.53 ERA in four appearances for the Rockies covering 6 1/3 innings.

[Small-yield blast nearby. Ground zero shakes. A few small flakes fall from the ceiling...] It would be insulting and >>incorrect<< to say that PASCAL is C with BEGIN and END. Not that this wasn't an annoyance. I type like the wind, but typing B-E-G-I-N and E-N-D instead of {} is just dumb. Almost as dumb as DO 100 I=1,N .... 100 CONTINUE pairs, but nothing can be quite THAT dumb except maybe forcing all code sectioning to be done by indentation alone [as he snugs up his suit and checks to make sure that the anti-snake-constriction reinforcing rods are all in place]. Pascal was, and remains, the German of compilers. All sentences must at the end a verb have. Declarations and definitions of all entities must occur in strict order. Differences in passing by reference vs value, especially for functions a la your example below. Pascal made me shudder (back when I enthusiastically tried it). I could almost hear the jackbooted heels tromping up to me door when it delivered its compiler warnings about some silly little infraction I'd made in syntax. All this is why CPS departments loved it. It FORCED you, by jiminy, to learn structured programming -- it wouldn't compile unless you'd structured your code according to its inflexible and precise rules. This is why developers hated it, and why every commercial application ever written with it died a horrible death (or was backported to C or C++ and rescued in the nick of time). This is why after one or two college-try programs, I vowed never again. Beyond that your point is well taken -- there are at least three distinct paradigms among the languages listed, which were not intended to be an exhaustive list (especially if one includes interpreters and scripting languages as well as compilers) but rather exemplary. I'd argue that the general COMPILER categories are procedural, object oriented, and list oriented, although not very hard for somebody that wanted to add a category of further distinguish these categories. I'd also argue -- quite vehemently -- that there is little "fundamental" difference between procedural and OO languages -- the primary operational requirement for an OO language is some sort of implementation of a struct/union. Everything else is a question of just how cooked you want the struct to be at the compiler level, how much protection you want from the compiler, how much freedom the compiler gives you to bend its rules and adopt different coding styles as appropriate to a problem, and how tight the compiler is relative to assembler/machine language. The more important differences are associated with efficiency and convenience and how well the syntax matches the problem. OO languages are good for problems with fairly obvious OO structure, where inheritance is more than just a tedious and somewhat silly concept, or MAYBE for projects where protection matters, although I personally think that having to work through an OO interface to set a trivial parameter is akin to being asked to go around to the little window in front to get helped by the person you're talking to through an open door. When the person WORKS for you, goddammit. I'll tell YOU when I want to have to work through the little window (which is so close to never as makes no difference:-). Fortran is good because it tells YOU how matrices are going to look and what their indices will run over, and by jolly darn it you'd better learn to live with it. That makes compiler-writers very happy, as they can optimize the hell out of matrix operations because they KNOW that the matrix is rectangular and starts at 1 and has a fixed layout in memory of its rows and its columns. It also has a binary exponentiation operator, which annoys C purists because it is properly a library function and not an operation (a trancendental call no less) but is convenient as all hell when writing code and I miss it. I do NOT miss doing anything at all to characters in fortran (noting well, Jeff, that I last wrote in Fortran -- willingly -- back when F77 was embarrassingly new). C++ is good because it has a great library. Not that a good library makes the compiler any better, not that you can't find great libraries for C, but C++ users swear by it. And yeah, it does all that inheritance and protection stuff (at the expense of a lot of obfuscation in the way those objects are laid out -- trying to trace just what some control variable is through layers of include files sucks). And it provides fast and easy I/O commands (as if printf isn't good enough, sniff). However, C++ coders (if they didn't start out in C) are completely blind to what pointers are, what they can do, why they are, really, amazingly useful. Seriously -- I've had multiple C++-trained students who wanted to work on projects for me who were completely clueless about them. And C++ tends to be fussy in other ways as well. > Re: FORTRAN, for awhile there we didn't really compile it, but translate it > to C and then invoke the C compiler. That gets you the beauty of the IMSL Which didn't really work terribly well, of course. Sometimes (for a lot of code) it didn't work at all. It isn't really a linear map. > libraries and the efficiency of very sharply maintained C compilers, at the > same time. Is there a good extant FORTRAN compiler? I wonder why, fortran is Except that it gives up all of the much greater efficiency of Fortran for numerical code. Has C >>ever<< beaten fortran on non-trivial numerical code? I doubt it. I seem to recall Greg remarking on this in flame wa.. I mean "discussions" past;-). IIRC his point from that time, C's very flexibility makes it much more difficult to optimize. When I create a typedef for a struct with three doubles and two ints as contents, malloc a block of memory for a vector of the structs, and then try to do linear algebra using the struct's second (y) double component, the compiler simply CANNOT know that the y's are in a simple vector with char stride 3*8 + 2*4 -- if that is indeed correct for the hardware in question. Fortran arm-twists one to allocate the y vector as a standalone vector of stride 8 (or 1, double precision, using completely standard and built in offset arithmetic) and even starts the offset predictably, where I can make the offset into the C struct anything I like, or can drop whole vectors of variable length at EVERY point inside the struct by making the struct hold pointers and descriptors for the vectors like length and type). Compilers can even align the variable favorably in memory where that matters -- what can they do with my struct and its mallocs (or C++'s even more hidden equivalents). In some cases the C (or C++) can be much, much easier to write and think about because it lets you craft arbitrary objects that match the problem instead of taking a much smallser set of built in objects that can be handled efficiently and them matching them, however crudely, to the problem. C++ extends the latter still further, at still greater cost in efficiency (although in many cases it can be programmed to be relatively efficient, as can the C for that matter). > easy to express in C (unlike conceptually variant languages, like APL or > LISP). And then, as you note, there are really different languages -- APL, LISP, TCL, mathematica, python, perl -- languages where one "can" often program anything you like, but where the language itself is very, very far from the machine code produced and very, very difficult to optimize. Basically, if you use one of them for a problem, you are acknowledging that you don't much care about the low level efficiency of the language, but that instead you REALLY care about how hard the program is to write, how tightly it fits the problem. So ultimately what I was recommending was to not use them to do parallel programming the first time around, and outside of that was simply advancing my own manifest biases in procedural/OO compilers in favor of the arguably most fundamental. I say fundamental because I personally like to be able to "see" through the compiler to the underlying assembler. With C that is quite simple -- I have a fairly good idea of just how each loop is implemented, how memory is laid out (in considerable detail), how loops roll or unroll. I can exert even more control than I usually do by inlining assembler or using pointers even more heavily than I do. (In perl, on the other hand, I have a very difficult time even imagining what it is doing with memory, because that memory is allocated and deallocated according to an incredibly arcane ritual (one I've actually looked at while thinking about writing C extensions to perl). Basically, you will NOT step out of its memory management rituals or your code will die horribly, and they are crafted to be a) amazingly stable in interpreted code; b) efficient in that order.) These latter are the reasons that C is heavily favored for writing systems code and operation systems and kernels and so on. You need to "know" what various code fragments are going to compile to within spitting distancne.

MIPCube Looking For Startups Disrupting The Video Market
from the go-disrupt deptFor a few years now, we've been attending and/or partnering with Midem, the big music industry conference. The same folks are now also doing MIPCube, a similar conference focusing on TV and video. We're partnering with them on their MIPCube Labs event, similar to the equivalent program at Midem, where a bunch of startups get to present their disruptive ideas, and the ones voted the best by a panel of judges will win some awards. If you're involved in an innovative or disruptive startup that is changing the face of video, TV or film, you should apply to take part -- and hurry up since you have to apply by February 29th (I know that link says the 20th, but it's been extended!):
MIPCube Lab is the only start-up competition to be tightly integrated into the TV industry and its future. It provides a global platform for start-ups to get feedback from the most powerful and innovative decision makers in the TV business and obtain funding from the finance community.Having seen the Midem Labs competition evolve and grow over the years, and seen lots of great companies present through there (including folks like Kickstarter and SoundCloud), these events can be really worthwhile for startups, so check it out.

Since the reforms that followed the Second Vatican Council, the church has evinced a renewed interest (some might call it an obsession) with the language of the liturgy. The council fathers understood the importance of language and took the bold step of voting to allow the use of the vernacular in the liturgy. That decision, as graced and wonderful as it was, also unleashed an avalanche of verbosity that hit some local parishes harder than others. The impulse to explain and comment on even the smallest liturgical detail may have been inspired by good will, but a barrage of words quickly wearied congregations, some of whose members were tempted to pine away for the old days when Father mumbled under his breath in Latin.
The recent Vatican promulgation of Liturgiam Authenticam (2001) and Summorum Pontificum (2007) highlighted different concerns regarding language. Liturgiam Authenticam focuses on the regulation of translations, while Summorum Pontificum reduces restrictions on the celebration of the Eucharist in Latin according to the so-called Tridentine Rite. This strong focus on the literal translation of Latin texts and the increased leeway to celebrate the old Latin Rite have kept language at the center of much liturgical debate. Many of the concerns raised are important and deserve attention. The liturgy—because it is ritual activity—speaks in many other ways, however, than simply through words. These nonverbal ways of speaking are often neglected to the detriment of meaningful liturgical prayer.
The language of liturgy is more than texts on a printed page read aloud at the proper time. The language of the liturgy, itself a symbol, also includes other symbols and symbolic actions. All elements of the liturgy (bread, wine, cup, water, fire, book, vesture, altar, crucifix), all gestures and postures (processing, bowing, eating, drinking, signing, singing, sprinkling, standing, kneeling) and all environmental elements (art and architecture, color and texture, light and darkness, sound and silence) can be said to make up the matrix of symbols that constitute the liturgy. The dynamism of this interplay of symbols can perhaps be more easily understood by considering a fundamental principle of quantum physics. As Diarmuid O'Murchu explains it, quantum physics describes the universe as a place where everything is interconnected or interrelated. Connections are realized by energy concentrated in packets, called quanta, that flow throughout all of reality. Like the bundles of energy described in quantum theory, liturgical symbols interact with each other, transferring and increasing energy, shedding light and unfolding meaning. The meaning of which they speak concerns Christian faith and identity, our relationship with God and each other and our participation in the paschal mystery of our Lord Jesus Christ.
If we hope to promote full, active and conscious participation in the liturgy, more care and attention must be given to the way we celebrate the nonverbal symbols of the liturgy. In addition to promoting participation—one of the primary goals of the liturgical reform—such care and attention will also enable nonverbal symbols to speak the message of the Gospel with greater clarity, integrity and inclusivity.
Full and Active Participation
There are various dimensions to active participation. Sometimes it calls for fulfilling a specific role, such as that of presider, cantor, altar server or choir member. For most of us, however, participation involves assuming the role of the worshiper in the pew. Even so, the congregation does not adequately fulfill its responsibility for active participation by simply responding to the prayers or singing the hymns and acclamations. The greater responsibility comes later: it is the response of one's life to the compelling invitation of the Gospel message. That invitation can be made more compelling through the interplay of symbolic activity that captures both the hearts and the imaginations of the worshipers.
Oftentimes a dissonance can be set up between the text of the liturgy and its nonverbal symbols. The text of the Easter Vigil rite, for example, proclaims "Christ our light." Instead of experiencing this great mystery in the midst of genuine darkness, we often sing the proclamation in full daylight. Or in other cases, only the altar servers see the ritual blessing of the Easter fire that flickers out of sight in the rear of the church. Another example would be the many Communion hymn texts that speak of eating Christ's body and drinking Christ's blood. Such a message is contradicted when the cup is withheld from the congregation and only the host is distributed. This is even more problematic when the Eucharist includes a large number of concelebrants, who partake of the cup in full view of a congregation that is not given the same opportunity.
Communicating the Message
The assembly that gathers to celebrate the Eucharist each Sunday has been told by means of a variety of verbal messages (including Scripture, the fathers of the church, the General Instruction of the Roman Missal and papal and curial statements) that it is the body of Christ. Furthermore, the worshipers are told that it is baptism that incorporates them into Christ's paschal mystery and is the source of their call to ministry and their individual dignity as temples of the Holy Spirit. Their unity as a gathered assembly is essential to the experience of and witness to these truths. These messages, however, will be nothing more than words unless they are supported by the many nonverbal symbols through which the liturgy can speak these truths with eloquence and grace. These include the sprinkling rite, which serves to remind members of the assembly of their baptism and its link to celebrating the Eucharist. Even things as simple as the placement, size and beauty of the baptismal font speak of the centrality of this sacrament to Christian life. In addition, including the congregation in the incense rite highlights the assembly as one of the modes of Christ's presence.
Other significant nonverbal symbols include the postures and movements of the assembly. The General Instruction is both clear and emphatic when it states that "a common posture, to be observed by all participants, is a sign of the unity of the members of the Christian community gathered for the sacred Liturgy." But posture can become a source of dissonance when a common posture is not observed or when the opportunity is not provided to take advantage of the options acknowledged in the General Instruction as appropriate in certain circumstances.
Of course, it is also the case that recent changes in the observance of rubrics have sometimes made it more difficult for nonverbal symbols to speak with clarity and authenticity. Numerous texts (in the categories mentioned above) speak about one bread and one cup symbolizing our oneness in the one body of Christ. Yet today our altars are covered with countless cups and plates full of small hosts before the celebration of the fraction rite. Such actions can make our words incoherent and the fraction rite superfluous.
The reforms of the Second Vatican Council teach us that celebrating the Eucharist is not an action performed solely by the presider and watched by the congregation. Rather, the Eucharist is an action performed by a gathered assembly under the leadership of an ordained priest and with the assistance of a variety of ministers. Parish liturgy committees often puzzle over why they cannot convince their assemblies that this is the case. Perhaps it is because nonverbal symbols and symbolic gestures are communicating a different message. When all the ministers who serve in proximity to the altar handle objects of quality and beauty—liturgical books, sacred vessels and the like—while the assembly sings and prays from throwaway missalettes that look shabby after the first weekend of use, it is not surprising that the congregants do not perceive themselves as integral to the liturgical action. If we want to signal the fact that the eucharistic action is occurring within the entire assembly, why not decorate all areas of the church for festivals such as Christmas and Easter—sanctuary and nave alike?
Diversity and Inclusivity
This past Palm Sunday I attended Mass in my hometown of Buffalo, N.Y. At the door of St. Joseph's Church, greeters offered each person a copy of the reading of the Passion. In my past experience, the assembly is usually assigned the parts of the rabble-rousing crowd, the "bad guys." To my surprise and delight, however, the congregation was assigned the part of Jesus Christ. Just think about that for a moment. Usually the part of Christ is automatically assigned to the priest. But in this case, the church community took the part of Christ. Such a gesture says volumes about how this parish (or the liturgy planning team) understood the assembly as the body of Christ, truly an instance of the presence of Christ in that time and place. The message, both verbal and nonverbal, was loud and clear.
Nonverbal symbols should not only speak in harmony with the verbal messages of the liturgy and faith in general; they also need to speak words of hospitality and inclusion. In a church where cultural and social diversity are fast becoming the norm rather than the exception, our gestures, postures, music, art and architecture can both express the heterogeneity of a community and welcome new members with their unique gifts and heritage. A tone of respect and appreciation can be heard in the way a parish or diocese incorporates the richness of its diversity, not with token gestures but with genuine hospitality and openness. This requires patience, planning and a willingness to learn new music, new customs and new ways of expressing our Catholic tradition.
Magnanimity and Bodiliness
Perhaps if only one suggestion could be made to improve the way nonverbal symbols are celebrated in the liturgy, it would be to work at developing a sacramental imagination or a sacramental worldview. In other words, we need to develop an ability to recognize the invisible workings of the divine presence active in the mundane elements of everyday life. Then, within the liturgy, these elements need to be celebrated with largesse, with a magnanimity that acknowledges that they mediate a sacrum commercium, that is, a sacred exchange between God and humankind. No other response than this type of prodigality is appropriate in the face of the boundless generosity of God.
Reducing symbols by either artificiality or miserliness inhibits their ability to serve as sacraments of our encounter with the divine. This is one of those clear cases where less is not more. Instead, we need to use plenty of water and oil for baptism, burn real candles, decorate with fresh flowers, process with grace and dignity, begin the Easter Vigil in the dark, build dramatic Easter fires, make music that erupts from the depths of our being and enter into communal prayer with generous amounts of silence.
Communal silence is one of the primary ways we can learn to see all of liturgy's symbols as expressions of God's activity in our lives and in our rituals. We can know our Christian faith only in and through our bodies. Yet our spirits need the deeper silence that dwells in the sacred mysteries; we enter it by pondering these signs and living into them. Opportunities for silence include not only longer pauses after the readings or after Communion, but also those moments when, gracefully and unhurriedly, we move from one ritual action to another. Silence will enable us to contemplate and become open to the myriad ways in which nonverbal symbols speak to us of God and invite our response.
We must pay closer attention to the nonverbal symbols of the liturgy and celebrate them well. In addition to our experience of liturgical texts, and oftentimes even more powerfully, they enable us to get in touch with the presence of God that, like the illusiveness of energy, permeates all of creation but can be apprehended only when it is embodied.

DALLAS, Aug. 4, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- What do our homes say about us? What stories are they telling? Are they declarations of integrity, beauty and heritage? Or do they suggest we have lost our sense of value, craft and harmony?
Brent Hull, owner and president of Hull Historical, a nationally recognized authority on historic design, architecturally correct moldings, and millwork addresses these questions in his new book "Building a Timeless House in an Instant Age" (Brown Books Publishing Group). Reflecting on a bygone era, he provides readers with a profound insight into the art of building homes in an age that is obsessed with what's next.
Trained in the art of museum quality preservation at the prestigious North Bennett Street School in Boston, Hull believes that what we build defines us. Hull, also the exclusive licensee for the architectural interiors of the Winterthur Museum and Country Estate in Wilmington, Delaware, currently hosting the "Costumes of Downton Abby" exhibit says, "Over the last 60 years, we have become so fixated with building homes as cheaply and fast as possible that we no longer remember how to build a beautiful home that lasts."
New homes today are often showy, gaudy and downright ugly. They are built without much care or consideration and have no design philosophy or lasting appeal to them.
In an age of instant homes, Hull dares us to slow down and ask ourselves: What happened to craft? What happened to the art of building? What are we communicating to our children by the homes we choose? How can we find a way to build something timeless that still weaves a tale of character, values, history and heart?
Christine G.H. Franck, director of Contemporary Traditional Architecture Initiatives at the College of Architecture and Planning, University of Colorado says, "Master builder Brent Hull brings to life the complex story of the rise and fall of craft and posits a better future grounded in timeless ways of building," While Virginia Savage McAlester, author of "A Field Guide to American Houses" adds, "'Building a Timeless House' is an engrossing history of house design and construction that prepares you to create your own home."
"We have come to see houses as a tradable commodity," says Hull. "We need to be careful of fooling ourselves into thinking that a bottom-line mentality is the best way to approach building a home. In fact, the contrast between the way we build today and how structures used to be built has become increasingly more vivid. Our values and what we believe about life have also changed."
For Hull, the main goal in writing this book is to help people understand that the house they build defines them and in turn defines our society. He teaches valuable lessons that might otherwise be lost in the technology obsessed and materialistic world we live in today.
Inspiring, informative and motivating, "Building a Timeless House in an Instant Age" provides readers with the tools to begin their own journey of discovery. A journey that starts by building a great team, specifically choosing the right architect and builder to bring your vision to life.
"Now is the time to examine ourselves, our motives and our hearts," Hull implores. "May your home tell the story you want to tell. May your house be timeless."

About the Author
Brent Hull is also the author of two books, "Traditional American Rooms celebrating style, craftmanship, and historic woodwork with a foreword by Barbara Streisand and "Historic Millwork, a guide to restoring and recreating doors, windows, and moldings from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. He is the recipient of four John Staub Awards for classical architecture in craftsmanship and historic restoration.

The river "flows up the map," they used to say, first south, then west, and then north, and through some of the most verdant and beautiful country in America. It is called the Tennessee, but it drains some forty thousand square miles of land in seven states, from the Blue Ridge Mountains to Alabama, and from Mississippi to the Ohio River, an area nearly the size of England.
Before the 1930s, it ran wild, threatening each spring to flood and wash away the humble farms and homes along its banks. Most of it was not navigable for any distance, thanks to "an obstructive fist thrust up by God or Devil"—as the writer George Fort Milton characterized it—that created a long, untamed run of rapids known as Muscle Shoals. The fist dropped the river 140 feet over the course of 30 miles, and therein lay the untapped potential of the Tennessee, the chance to make power—a lot of it—out of water.
1. As closing time at Moscow's Tretyakov Gallery approached on May 25, 2018, Igor Podporin, a balding thirty-seven-year-old with sunken eyes, circled the Russian history room. The elderly museum attendees shooed him toward the exit, but Podporin paused by a staircase, turned, and rushed back toward the Russian painter Ilya Repin's 1885 work Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan on November 16, 1581. He picked up a large metal pole—part of a barrier meant to keep viewers at a distance—and smashed the painting's protective glass, landing three more strikes across Ivan's son's torso before guards managed to subdue him. Initially, police presented Podporin's attack as an alcohol-fueled outburst and released a video confession in which he admitted to having knocked back two shots of vodka in the museum cafeteria beforehand. But when Podporin entered court four days later, dressed in the same black Columbia fleece, turquoise T-shirt, and navy-blue cargo pants he had been arrested in, he offered a different explanation for the attack. The painting, Podporin declared, was a "lie." With that accusation, he thrust himself into a centuries-old debate about the legacy of Russia's first tsar, a debate that has reignited during Vladimir Putin's reign. The dispute boils down to one deceptively simple question: Was Ivan really so terrible?
When I met Raúl Mijango, in a courtroom in San Salvador, he was in shackles, awaiting trial. He was paunchier than in the photos I'd seen of him, bloated from diabetes, and his previously salt-and-pepper goatee had turned fully white. The masked guard who was escorting him stood nearby, and national news cameras filmed us from afar. Despite facing the possibility of a long prison sentence, Mijango seemed relaxed, smiling easily as we spoke. "Bolívar, Fidel, Gandhi, and Mandela have also passed through this school," he told me, "and I hope that some of what they learned during their years in prison we should learn as well."
Green-Wood Cemetery, where objectionable statues are laid to rest
A few miles north of San Francisco, off the coast of Sausalito, is Richardson Bay, a saltwater estuary where roughly one hundred people live out of sight from the world. Known as anchor-outs, they make their homes a quarter mile from the shore, on abandoned and unseaworthy vessels, doing their best, with little or no money, to survive. Life is not easy. There is always a storm on the way, one that might capsize their boats and consign their belongings to the bottom of the bay. But when the water is calm and the harbormaster is away, the anchor-outs call their world Shangri-lito. They row from one boat to the next, repairing their homes with salvaged scrap wood and trading the herbs and vegetables they've grown in ten-gallon buckets on their decks. If a breeze is blowing, the air fills with the clamoring of jib hanks. Otherwise, save for a passing motorboat or a moment of distant chatter, there is only the sound of the birds: the sparrows that hop along the wreckage of catamarans, the egrets that hunt herring in the eelgrass, and the terns that circle in the sky above.

"Nowadays, most states let just about anybody who wants a concealed-handgun permit have one; in seventeen states, you don't even have to be a resident. Nobody knows exactly how many Americans carry guns, because not all states release their numbers, and even if they did, not all permit holders carry all the time. But it's safe to assume that as many as 6 million Americans are walking around with firearms under their clothes."

The Chicago Bears offered linebacker Brian Urlacher a contract, but they didn't want him back. Not really. The same is true for the Baltimore Ravens and safety Ed Reed.
Money talks in the NFL, and both teams sent a clear message with their offers to the future Pro Football Hall of Famers: We no longer want you on the team.
I don't really blame either team.
The NFL is a brutal business that succeeds in large part because it's so brutal. The salary cap forces these types of decisions, especially in 2013 after years of the cap barely moving up. In baseball, teams can afford to be sentimental at times with contracts. They can pay a tax on a player's big name. (Derek Jeter, anyone?)
It doesn't work like that in football. Players generally get paid what they are worth or they get released from their non-guaranteed contracts. That's why I never blame a player like Reed for pursuing every lost dollar on the free-agent market. There is virtually no loyalty from teams to players, so there's no reason to have loyalty the other way around.
The Ravens and Houston Texans both said plenty with their offers to Reed, as well. Even though the Texans landed Reed, their initial offer reportedly was around $4 million per season over three years. The Ravens' offer was even less. Reed's agent might puff up his final price, but my guess is that it doesn't include much guaranteed money.
Those offers say -- despite all of Houston's southern hospitality -- that the Texans and Ravens see Reed as a declining player who is an average NFL starter at best. Glover Quin and LaRon Landry both received vastly superior offers in free agency. Quin was Houston's first choice at safety; Reed was a backup option for the Texans.
The Texans were willing to pay a little extra for Reed's experience and ball skills. The Ravens were ready to make a clean break from the Reed-Ray Lewis era and gave him no extra money for name value. At least Baltimore's offer indicated that they still thought Reed could play a little bit.
It's hard to blame Urlacher for walking away from a one-year, $2 million offer. That's the contract you give to a player that might not make the team, and might be a backup if he does make the team. That's an offer you make when you want a player to walk away.
It was unnecessary for the Bears to talk openly about wanting to bring back Urlacher for weeks just for public relations purposes. They would have been better off just being honest, and parting ways without all the drama.
They didn't want Urlacher back. The contract offer did the talking for them.Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.

John PetitbonFootball, 1944-57
Jesuit High School/Notre Dame/NFL
Inducted: 1979
Of all the outstanding high school football players in the "Golden Age" of the 1940s, Petitbon stands out as the greatest. A letterman in three sports, he became Jesuit's starting tailback as a 14-year-old sophomore in 1944. He led the city in rushing and scoring and ranked second in passing as a junior in leading the Blue Jays to a perfect 13-0 record. Jesuit won every game by two or more touchdowns and scored a 48-14 victory over Jennings in the Class 2A finals. In 1946 Jesuit became the only school to win championships in all four major sports in the top classification of the Louisiana High School Athletic Association in the same calendar year, and Petitbon starred on three of them. He went on to make his mark in the record book at Notre Dame but had a pro career shortened by the Korean War.

Purging a physical destination deletes all messages it is currently holding. You might want to do this when a destination's accumulated messages are taking up too much of the system's resources, such as when a queue is receiving messages but has no registered consumers to which to deliver them, or when a topic's durable subscribers remain inactive for long periods of time.
To purge a physical destination, use the imqcmd purge dst subcommand:
imqcmd purge dst -t destType -n destName
For example, the following command purges all accumulated messages from the topic destination hotTopic:
imqcmd purge dst -t t -n hotTopic -u admin
In a broker cluster, since each broker in the cluster has its own instance of each physical destination, you must purge each such instance individually.
When restarting a broker that has been shut down, you can use the Broker utility's -reset messages option to clear out its stale messages: for example,
imqbrokerd -reset messages -u admin
This saves you the trouble of purging physical destinations after restarting the broker.

The US EPA has a volunteer program where law students are employed to perform primarily legal research and writing to support counseling and enforcement work at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA), Office of Regional Counsel (ORC) in Chicago. Region 5 has one of the strongest enforcement records in U.S.
EPA. The large number of attorneys (about 105) in ORC often means exposure to a variety of work and cases.
The work includes enforcement cases brought under the federal environmental statutes. These are the same statutes typically covered in the basic environmental law course, so the externship is a chance to put into practice what the extern has already learned or will be learning shortly.
There are positions available for Fall, Spring and Summer sessions. Interviews for summer 2007 externships start in December 2006 (applications for summer positions should be made in the fall semester). For more information on our office, applicants may visit our web-site at www.epa.gov/Region5/ORC.
As of October 16th, 2L's can apply for $4500 summer internships at public interest organizations through the Public Interest Law Initiative www.pili-law.org. Visit the Public Interest Law Initiative website to learn how to apply for an internship. Cover letters must be tailored to each organization you apply to work with. On December 1st, 1L's can apply for $4500 summer internships through PILI.
By applying for a PILI summer internship, you make your resume known to the public interest agencies to which you apply. Should you not receive the $4500 PILI internship, there are alternative funding opportunities, such as stipends through the Kent Justice Foundation for summer public interest work, as well as additional sources for funding. If you are interested in public interest work, applying for a PILI internship is a good place to start.
For questions on PILI summer internships, contact Michelle Mohr Vodenik in the Career Services Office.

This might sound like a troll, but I'm serious: why not run linux on the G5 Xserves? That would address point 1, 2, and 3 and you would have a much better underlying kernel. The Darwin kernel is a terrible performance dog, and linux outperforms it in context switches, file system access, page faults and just about every other kernel-specific metric by an order of magnatude. It's a cluster, so you're not using the OS X GUI. You've probably already got a cluster management infrastrucutre for your linux clusters, so you won't have an oddball Darwin cluster screwing things up. I don't know how possible it is to get 3rd party software for linux-ppc. Aside from that one issue, linux on G5 clusters seems to make a lot of sense from a portability, performance, and administration perspective. ==rob -- Rob Latham Mathematics and Computer Science Division A215 0178 EA2D B059 8CDF Argonne National Labs, IL USA B29D F333 664A 4280 315B

Tok&Stok reinforces the brand's concept in its new campaign signed by DDB Brasil, with film and print. To prove that Tok&Stok's furniture is easy to assemble, the campaign uses commercials like tutorials to show how simple it is. The public, at first, is surprised and confused towards the scene, but the incomprehension is undone by the end of each play, when it is revealed that, instead of assembly tips, they were actually reading a cake recipe in Czech or a drink recipe in Indonesian, and even the lyrics to the song "Oh Suzana" in Basque.
