They will be used against us. via Testosterone Pit – President Obama Must Release The Truth About Ben....
In 2011, the United States overseas weapons sales tripled to $66.3 billion, accounting for approximately three quarters of all the foreign weapons sales in the world. Over half of the American sales, $33.4 billion worth of weapons, went to Saudi Arabia. Another $6 billion went to the Persian Gulf nations of the United A....
According e-mails from Stratfor Global Intelligence hacked by WikiLeaks, Chief Executive Jamie Smith of "security" firm SCG International stated his organization had been contracted to U.S. intelligence agencies to supply arms to overthrow Muammar Gaddafi in Libya and was now working with Saudi Arabia and Qatar to provide weapons to hard-liner Islamic jihadists brigades to overthrow Assad in Syria. Smith stated that SCG was also working to recover missing Libyan surface-to-air missiles from Benghazi, Libya.
In March of 2011, Chris Stevens was appointed by Secretary of State Clinton as the official U.S. liaison to the al-Qaeda-linked Libyan rebels, working directly with Abdelhakim Belhadj of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG). Shortly thereafter, a non-fly-zone was declared by the U.S. and Stevens moved into Benghazi, Libya. When Libya was liberated in September, Stevens moved to Tripoli as the U.S. Ambassador.
Libya was ruled by a National Transitional Council until elections were held on July 7, 2012. LIFG formed the al-Umma al-Wasat political party under Sami al-Saadi, who had sent so many warriors to fight in Afghanistan that Taliban leader Mullah Omar called him the "Sheikh of the Arabs". There was increasing violence leading up to the election. On June 6th an IED blew a hole in the security wall at the Benghazi Consulate "big enough for 40 men to go through"; on June 10th, the British ambassador's car was attacked in Tripoli; and in late June, the International Red Cross in Benghazi was attacked. After the British and Red Cross withdrew, the U.S. flag over the American Consulate was the last international target in Benghazi. But the environment became much more dangerous when al-Uma al-Wasat only came in third place in the elections.
LIFG had been making great money selling Gaddafi's estimated stock of about 20,000 portable SA-7 heat-seekin... to the Syrian rebels, who used them to shoot down Syrian helicopters and fighter jets. Last month The Times of London reported that a Libyan ship named 'The Intisaar' had berthed at the Turkish port of Iskenderun with docking "papers stamped by the port authority by the ship's captain, Omar Mousaeeb" of Benghazi. The ship reportedly carried 400 tons of weapons for Syrian rebels, including SAM-7 surface-to-air anti-craft missiles and rocket-propelled grenades. The Times stated that the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood movement and Free Army claimed the cargo for themselves, which "delayed the arrival of the weapons in Syria."

Hey bloggers,
After a night of partying. We threw our sunglasses on and made our way back to the beach. I took a few beach pictures and recorded a bikini lookbook-which I will put at the end of this post. View the pictures below:
After a day at the beach, I had to go back to my hotel and get ready for the pool party. I was so excited as this was my first time going to a pool party.
Before the party got started, I ordered my drinks. It was such a bad idea to start drinking early as I am a weak drinker but the drink offer was too good to resist.
The venue looked amazing. I just had to take a picture of it!
This is my OOTD for the pool party.
Once the pool party was over, I got back to the hotel and changed into my clubbing dress to party some more!
I hope you enjoyed my blog post. View the video below to watch my bikini lookbook.

Cisco chief executive John Chambers said the networking giant had beaten expectations for the third quarter, ending 29 April 2006, but it isn't increasing estimates for the current quarter.
The firm sold $7.3bn worth of kit in the the quarter and made a profit of $1.4bn - including the costs of staff share options. This was about the same as profits same time last year, when options were not expensed. Revenue grew 12 per cent year-on-year excluding the impact of the $6.9bn purchase of Scientific-Atlanta. Chambers is bulllish about the progress made in integrating the firm.
He said it was a strong quarter, especially in the US. Sales in Europe were slightly weaker and Japan showed "signs of flattening". Sales in US and Canada account 52 per cent of Cisco's business.
Emerging markets, Eastern Europe, Latin America, Middle East and Africa, and Russia make up only 10 per cent of Cisco's total business, but grew at 30 per cent compared with the year before.
Chambers said: "Our success in the emerging markets is exceeding even our own optimistic expectations."

I've been working on some stuff that involves client sided scripts, to improve how players interact with my servers.
By installing the script from the link below, I can create things that require client sided scripts without you having to do anything - making things much easier on your side. Just a one time install.
I'll be able to create things like scoreboards for example(replacing that crappy Top 3 Players thing) and much more. This script will add a lot of new features, which is why it's very important you install it.
If you download the Daz pack for Windows or Mac as of the date of this post, it will come with this script pre-installed. Click Here to download the Daz pack.
**Update: Script is now more secure - will only allow commands from MY servers through a domain/IP check.
Installation is simple.
Download the script: Click Here
Navigate to your TT files (ie. C:\Program Files\Bravetree), and place the script in game/client. Then add this line to the end of your main.cs
If installed correctly, you should get a message saying the script has been successfully installed when you join my servers.
If you need any help with this, either respond here in this thread, or e-mail me at Mr_Phobik at hotmail dot com and I'll help you out!
..and if you don't install this script, you'll get an annoying message every time you join my servers
Note: This in no way gives me any access to files outside the ThinkTanks directory. I will only be able to update TT files. Think of it as a built in updater, just like almost all other games have.

OK, a last thought on the development initiatives and markets thread: let's leave the predictive markets thing aside for the moment, and get to what I think is a more serious question for development initiatives – do we use all the information we might to evaluate the likely impact of our programs? I think a lot of folks misread the intent of my initial post – I was NOT suggesting we bet on mortality rates and other direct measures of project effectiveness. That is something I could see as an academic exercise, but is way too morbid for my tastes, even in that setting.
But everyone who lunged in that direction seemed to miss the point that any major development initiative will, if it succeeds, have radiating impacts through different markets. That is, a successful food security initiative will change harvest sizes of different crops, thereby influencing commodities markets. A successful public health intervention might increase the size of the workforce, or its efficiency. And so on. My simple thought was that any fund investor worth his/her salt should be examining these initiatives and their expected outcomes to decide 1) if the initiative worked, what markets might be affected, how and when and 2) do they think the initiative will actually work.
If there is no movement around these initiatives, it seems to me that these two factors might be important – at the first step in this decision-making, investors might decide that in the event of a successful intervention, the markets affected might not be accessible or profitable, or the timeframe of any movement in the market might be so long as to make immediate response unnecessary. Thus, we would see no market response to the announcement of an intervention. At that point, it doesn't matter if the intervention will work or not – that assessment never comes into the picture.
However, in at least some cases, I have to think that there are initiatives out there (in a world of rising food prices, I am a bit fixated on food security at the moment) that would affect significant markets, and not only at a national scale (where markets might be illiquid or otherwise inaccessible). Take the case of cocoa and Cote d'Ivoire this past winter: the civil conflict in CIV cut off a significant amount of global supply, and futures markets got skittish over the further constriction of trade, driving cocoa prices upward. This is a niche crop, heavily produced by only a few countries, but the price movement could have meant big dollars for a fund that correctly anticipated this trend. Surely there are (or will be) food security initiatives that could similarly affect the overall supplies of and access to particular (perhaps niche) crops for entire regions, or even shift global availability/perception enough to shift commodities prices in much larger, more transparent markets in the short term. Don't fixate on national markets for these initiatives – what about really big development movers that could affect global supplies of grain in an era where all the slack has been taken out of various global grain markets? You can't tell me that everyone at these trading desks is simply ignoring the food security world . . . surely they are at least assessing through step 1) above. So if there is no market response to these initiatives, either the timeframe of movement is too distant to warrant interest, or the traders simply don't think these initiatives will succeed enough to significantly influence the markets in which they trade. Perhaps the price of oil and its impact on transport is much, much more important than increasing harvest size when it comes to shaping food commodities prices . . . in which case, it would probably be good for those designing food security initiatives to know this at the outset and address it in project design (for example by thinking about transportation issues as integral to the initiative).
Of course, there is option 3): traders have no idea what sorts of initiatives are out there, and are operating in ignorance of these potential large drivers. This is entirely possible, but a bit hard to believe . . .

Top Rated Facial Plastic Surgeon near Weston, MA
Top Rated Facial Plastic Surgeon
Located in Westborough, MAProudly serving Weston, MA
You have made the decision to look better. Now you just have to find the right surgeon who can provide you with the amazing results you are looking for. As a consumer, the information you find on the internet can be confusing and overwhelming. How do you know which surgeon to choose? We have pulled together some important information to ensure that you find the best surgeon to perform your procedure and that you are ultimately happy with your results. If you're thinking about enhancing your facial features or saying goodbye to wrinkles, jowls, or other flaws—choosing a surgeon who knows exactly what he or she is doing is an absolute must. As cosmetic treatments are increasingly popular across the country, more and more physicians are performing these treatments. This makes choosing a surgeon even more challenging. Where do you start? First, you want to begin with the physician's credentials.The surgeon's skill and experienceWhen researching a surgeon, you should begin with their credentials. There are many reputable websites where you can find surgeons who specialize in the treatments you are looking for. For example, the American Board of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery has a physician finder that will help you find a board certified surgeon to perform your facial surgery http://www.abfprs.org/certified/finder. Oftentimes, surgeons who are very skilled and have extensive experience in their field tend to be more costly than surgeons with less experience. A lower price may be tempting, but don't let that be the deciding factor. When cosmetic procedures are offered at significantly lower prices than what is typical for surgical and non-surgical procedures, take that as a red flag. The surgeon's general approach (natural looking vs. "obviously done")When considering a cosmetic procedure, you want the results to be very natural looking. In other words, you still want to look like yourself—only a younger looking, more refreshed version of yourself. Whether it's surgery, Botox, laser skin resurfacing, lip injections, etc.—the end result should never look "fake." During your consultation, ask to see before and after pictures of prior patients. This will give you an idea for what you can expect for you own procedure. The surgeon's training and educational backgroundNowadays, there are many health care providers performing plastic surgery procedures, but that doesn't mean they're all qualified to perform them. Surgeons who are certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic Surgery & Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS) are trained in cosmetic and reconstructive procedures of the face and neck. Board certified surgeons have more training and more experience in the areas where they specialize. Therefore, they are more qualified to perform cosmetic procedures. The ability of the surgeon to connect with their patient's needsWhen choosing a plastic surgeon, you want to feel as if you can communicate well with your surgeon and they are able to understand your needs. Be wary of a surgeon who doesn't spend enough time with you discussing your procedure. Make sure you choose a plastic surgeon who takes their time discussing your options, as well as the risks and benefits. He or she should show a genuine interest in wanting to know more about what concerns you, and then focusing on a treatment plan that will give you the best results. You should also ask as many questions as possible so you feel comfortable with the treatments that are being suggested to you. A qualified plastic surgeon will take his or her time to make sure the patient understands and feelscomfortable with the treatment plan. The overall quality of pre AND postoperative care provided by the team membersWhere a plastic surgeon performs your cosmetic procedure is absolutely critical. It should be in a clean and sterile environment with qualified team members there to assist him or her as necessary. Many board certified surgeons are required to operate in facilities that meet strict standards for equipment, personnel, and room safety. Some of these agencies who oversee surgical facilities include The Joint Commission, AAAASF, and AAAHC. With these strict standards in place, patients are safer and there are fewer complications during and after the procedure. A good plastic surgeon, along with his or her team, will also take the time to prepare you for your recovery.Feedback on reviews from past patientsWhen choosing a plastic surgeon, it's important to put on your "investigative hat." While you can't believe everything you read online, sometimes online reviews can be helpful. If a plastic surgeon has more negative reviews than positive, you may want to look elsewhere.

In the spring of 1981 Menachem Begin faced one of the most difficult decisions of his premiership. Iraq had indicated its intentions to build a nuclear bomb and left no doubt as to the designated target. Israeli intelligence had estimated that Iraq would have a working bomb within two years. Despite diplomatic efforts, Iraq continued with its efforts to develop her nuclear program. Once his military leaders presented him with a viable plan of attack against the Iraqi nuclear plant at Osirak, Begin had to decide whether to give the mission a green light. Time was not on his side, as it was believed that only a few months remained before the plant went hot. If that happened an attack would no longer be viable because of the radioactive fallout that would result from the plant's destruction.
Although Begin realized there would be an international outcry against the bombing, he nonetheless felt it was necessary to ensure Israel's future. On June 7, 1981 Israel successfully neutralized the Iraqi threat. As Begin suspected, many countries, including the United States condemned the attack. But with the passage of time most of these same countries realized that Israel had made the world a safer place.
In a speech delivered to the Knesset that June 26, Begin explained his reasons. What follows is a partial translation of his speech.
"My dear friends, we have experienced many awful days and nights since we discovered that in Osirak they were planning to develop atomic bombs. We faced a terrible dilemma. Assuming we did nothing what would happen to us? What would happen to our children? We have fought and won five wars. We do not want a sixth one….But now, with Iraq, a cruel enemy, possessing atomic bombs, when we went out to the streets and saw five year old children playing, we wondered what would be in two or three years when they will be seven and eight. What will happen to them when Saddam Hussein will have two to three bombs the strength of those that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Tens of thousands of these children might be killed or injured….We therefore asked ourselves what should we do? How could we forgive ourselves if G-d forbid we didn't act?"
From this speech, as well as from internal cabinet memos, we see that Begin was focused on the children's future. He believed that he and his government had the responsibility to do all that they could to safeguard it. That is what compelled him to order the bombing.
What does this have to do with Pesach? Pesach is the holiday that celebrates the future of our children and their education in the ways of the Torah. But to successfully educate our children and prepare them for their future challenges we must look at them now and determine what needs to be done to ensure that they grow into outstanding Bnei and Bnot Torah. Regrettably, all too often we focus on teaching our children how to address our current adult challenges and not the challenges they will encounter when they themselves will become adults.
I believe a careful reading of the third son's (the tam) question provides us with insight into this issue. Based on the pasuk in the Torah (Shemot 13:14) the Haggadah relates that the tam's question consists of two simple words: "Mah Zot (what's this)?" In response, the Torah relates how the son's parent should explain to him how G-d took us out of Egypt and freed us from our bondage with a strong hand. When we look in the Torah the preamble to the questions is: "And it will be when your son asks you tomorrow saying what is this…" There is something striking about the word tomorrow. Rashi explains that the word connotes some future distant time. Accordingly, for some reason the son described in this pasuk will not know why we perform the rituals connected with Pesach (or why we redeem firstborns, which is the immediate topic of the Torah section).
The commentators offer many explanations for this unfamiliarity. The common denominator is that the question is a function of his limited intellectual abilities. However, let us take a moment to collectively take a step back and look inward. What if the reason the son asks such a simple and shallow question is not because of unfamiliarity but because we failed over the years to instill within him the importance and relevance of the Seder night. The wise son is also described as asking his question in the future. But unlike the tam's unidimensional question, the wise son asks detailed and penetrating ones. Arguably, the real difference is not in their intellectual abilities but in their understanding of the importance and relevance of the evening.

Jennifer Tyrrell, who was ousted as a den mother for her son's Cub Scout troop because of her sexual orientation, is fighting back. Tyrrell talks to msnbc's Thomas Roberts about her petition to change the Boy Scouts of America's long-standing policy on banning gays and lesbians.
The Boy Scouts of America will keep their controversial policy banning gay scouts and leaders after a confidential two-year review, the organization said Tuesday.
The announcement comes amid a stepped-up campaign from activist groups urging an end to the membership standards.
"The vast majority of the parents of youth we serve value their right to address issues of same-sex orientation within their family, with spiritual advisers, and at the appropriate time and in the right setting," said Bob Mazzuca, Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts. "While a majority of our membership agrees with our policy, we fully understand that no single policy will accommodate the many diverse views among our membership or society."
The Boy Scouts convened a committee of 11 senior volunteers and professional leaders to decide whether the policy was still in the organization's best interests after a resolution was put forward to reconsider it, the private group said in a statement that was first reported by The Associated Press. The nearly two-year-long review began in 2010.
The committee reached a "unanimous consensus" that it was the "best policy" for the BSA, Scouts' spokesman Deron Smith said in an email. That conclusion was shared at a February board meeting and recently reviewed by the officers of the board, he said.
"The committee included a diversity of perspectives and opinions. The review included forthright and candid conversation and extensive research and evaluations -- both from within Scouting and from outside the organization. The committee's work and conclusion is that this policy reflects the beliefs and perspectives of the BSA's members, thereby allowing Scouting to remain focused on its mission and the work it is doing to serve more youth," the statement said.
The review was conducted confidentially "to allow the committee to make the best decision for the organization," Smith said.
In June, the Boy Scouts said the organization was considering another resolution proposed at the group's annual meeting the month before that also called for ending the policy. But the decision announced Tuesday means the Scouts' board will take no further action on that resolution, Smith said.
"Resolutions can always be submitted as defined by our bylaws, but the officers of the board have no plans to further review this issue," he said.

The Boy Scouts' policy became a focus of the U.S. Supreme Court in 2000, when the justices sided with the organization in a lawsuit involving a former assistant Scoutmaster who was gay, citing the protections of the First Amendment.

Tyrrell, a 32-year-old stay at home mother of four, said she agreed to become the den master on the day she signed up her son, Cruz Burns, for the local troop, last year. She had concerns about the Boy Scouts' policy against homosexuals, but a Cubmaster said that – locally -- they wouldn't have problem.
Zach Wahls, an Eagle Scout who is the son of a lesbian couple, has recently campaigned for changing the policy, along with Jennifer Tyrrell, who was ousted from her post as a Tiger Cubs' den leader in April because she is a lesbian. She started an online petition to seek changes to the Boy Scouts policy.
Smith said the Boy Scouts would accept Tyrrell's petition on Wednesday, but did not plan to discuss the policy. Another big batch of petition signatures was delivered by Wahls to the Boy Scouts' annual meeting in May.
Wahls denounced what he said was "the secretive nature surrounding how this conclusion was reached" and called the announcement "old news."
"We've heard this line before, and we'll hear it again before this is all said and done. I've said this before and I'll say it again: this will be the official BSA policy up until the day it finally ends," he said in an email to msnbc.com. "Regardless of your thoughts on homosexuality, surely we can agree that gay people who serve our troops and communities deserve our respect and gratitude."
BSA board member James Turley, global chairman and CEO of consulting and tax firm Ernst & Young, said in mid-June that he was working within the organization to encourage dialogue on the policy, which is not one he would "personally endorse." When contacted Tuesday, his firm's media representatives said he would have no comment beyond his earlier remarks.
"Scouting believes that good people can personally disagree on this topic and still work together to achieve the life-changing benefits to youth through Scouting," the BSA National Executive Board said in the statement. "While not all Board members may personally agree with this policy, and may choose a different direction for their own organizations, BSA leadership agrees this is the best policy for the organization and supports it for the BSA."

A new EU study has identified risk prioritisation, enforcement and resources as key issues in applying data breach notification rules.
ENISA, the EU's cyber-security agency, launched its investigation on data breach notification rules against a backdrop of steadily rising incident of personal information disclosure breaches.
The agency identified key concerns from both telecom operators and the Data Protection Authorities (DPA) in applying a recent ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) that applied breach notification rules to the electronic communication sector.
The agency hopes the research will help to develop best practice on breach notification as well as informing ministerial decisions on whether EU data breach disclosure rules first applied to telcos ISPs ought to extended to financial service firms and other sectors of the economy.
Key concerns raised by telecom operators and DPAs interviewed by ENISA include:
- Risk Prioritisation – Interested parties want breaches categorised according to risk levels to avoid 'notification fatigue'. Graded responses should be applied depending an the level of risk. A one size fits all approach would be counterproductive.
- Communication Channels – Operators wanted assurances that applying by breach notification rules and reporting slips would not result in damaging their brands. The concern is that those that report problems, in compliance with the rules, will be "punished" by earning a reputation for poor security while those that do nothing will avoid tarnishing their reputation.
- Resources - Several regulatory authorities have other priorities beyond the handling of breach notification and there were concerns this could lead to over-stretching of resources, leading to possible problems in enforcement and other areas.
- Reporting Delay - The report identified a split between service providers and regulators on deadlines for reporting breaches. Regulators want short deadlines whereas service providers wanted to be able to focus their resources on solving the problem, before they dealt with the regulatory fallout of any breach.
- Content of Notifications - Another area of disagreement. Operators want to make sure the notification content avoided unduly alarming customers, who might be inclined to think the worst about any breach. Regulators, meanwhile, advocated complete transparency.
ENISA intends to use its research to develop guidelines on best practice for data breach notification, as well as analysing the possibility for extending the general obligation of data breach notification to other sectors, such as the financial sector, health care and small businesses.
The issue will be discussed at an ENISA-organised workshop in Brussels on 24 January.

Apple's new spaceship-like headquarters has run into a delay and likely won't break ground before 2014, delaying the project by a year.
The headquarters won't be completed until mid-2016 because the city of Cupertino may not complete its environmental impact report until June, according to Bloomberg Businessweek. The plans for the 176-acre headquarters were updated and presented to the city on Nov. 14.
"They could conceivably break ground in 2013, but only if everything goes smoothly," said David Brandt, Cupertino's city manager."The project is running a little bit slow."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
In the original plan, Apple intended on moving into the building in 2015. The city plans to post the new plan online after Thanksgiving.
The new proposal includes moving a free-standing auditorium farther away from a road and more parking spots for employees. So far, it looks as if there are no changes to the four-story main building or its native landscaping.
If Apple continues to make changes on the fly, it makes sense that it could postpone the groundbreaking of the project. However, the new headquarters will likely be its home for decades, so the company has to be smart about its planning -- not only for now but also the future.

The word "Sheltie" is short for Shetland Sheepdog. The breed originated on the Shetland Islands, off the northeast coast of Scotland.
The Shetland Islands are a land of harsh and desolate beauty. Traditionally, the economic activities of the islands are primarily agricultural, especially the raising of Shetland sheep, known for their fine wool. Crops raised include oats and barley; however, the cold, windswept islands make for a harsh environment for most plants.

"Given the reality of the Resurrection of Christ, doubts about the omnipotence, omniscience, and benevolence of God the Father—who gave His Only Begotten Son for the redemption of the world—are groundless. ... Given the reality of the Resurrection of Christ, death is not our end, and though "skin worms destroy [our bodies], yet in [our] flesh shall [we] see God."
—Elder D. Todd Christofferson, "The Resurrection of Jesus Christ"
Topics: Jesus Christ
"But just because spiritual trials are real does not mean that they are incurable. We can heal spiritually. Even the deepest spiritual wounds—yes, even those that may appear to be incurable—can be healed. The Savior's healing touch can transform lives in our day just as it did in His."
—Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Bearers of Heavenly Light"
Topics: Atonement
"Some uses of individual and family time are better, and others are best. We have to forego some good things in order to choose others that are better or best because they develop faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and strengthen our families."
—President Dallin H. Oaks, "Good, Better, Best"
Topics: Family
"The home should be a place where reliance on the Lord is a matter of common experience, not reserved for special occasions. One way of establishing that is by regular, earnest prayer. It is not enough just to pray. It is essential that we really speak to the Lord, having faith that he will reveal to us as parents what we need to know and do for the welfare of our families."
—Spencer W. Kimball, "Strenghtening Our Families"
Topics: Prayer
"Just do the very best you can each day. Do the basic things and, before you realize it, your life will be full of spiritual understanding that will confirm to you that your Heavenly Father loves you. When a person knows this, then life will be full of purpose and meaning, making balance easier to maintain."
—President M. Russell Ballard, "Keeping Life's Demands in Balance"
Topics: Endure to the End
"...as pertaining to Jesus Christ, I testify that he is the Son of the Living God and was crucified for the sins of the world. He is our Lord, our God, and our King. This I know of myself independent of any other person. I am one of his witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God's Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way."
—Bruce R. McConkie, "The Purifying Power of Gethsemane"
Topics: Jesus Christ
"In those moments when the light of your faith has dimmed, let your hope for the Savior's love and grace, found in His gospel and His Church, overcome your doubt. I promise that He stands ready to receive you. Over time you will come to see that you have made the best choice you could possibly have made. Your courageous decision to believe in Him will bless you immeasurably and forever."
—Elder L. Whitney Clayton, "Choose to Believe"
Topics: Hope
"There is too much at stake for us as individuals, as families, and as Christ's Church to give only a halfhearted effort to this sacred work. Being a disciple of Jesus Christ is not an effort of once a week or once a day. It is an effort of once and for all."
—Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Are You Sleeping through the Restoration?"
Topics: Discipleship
"Modesty is more than a matter of avoiding revealing attire. It describes not only the altitude of hemlines and necklines but the attitude of our hearts. The word modesty means "measured." It is related to moderate. It implies 'decency, and propriety … in thought, language, dress, and behavior'."
—Susan W. Tanner, "The Sanctity of the Body"
Topics: Modesty
"We should not need a hurricane or other crisis to remind us of what matters most. The gospel and the Lord's plan of happiness and salvation should remind us. What matters most is what lasts longest, and our families are for eternity."
—Elder M. Russell Ballard, "What Matters Most Is What Lasts Longest"
Topics: Eternal Perspective

TheJWittz here walks us through some of the more noteworthy Pokedex entries—from ones that involve dead children, to those that reveal some Pokemon are hilariously deadly. It's a doozy.

Parents have a new option in the battle between teenage hormones and parental responsibilities - GPS ankle bracelets.
While there are dozens of apps available for parents to monitor where their teens are at any given moment, a Clearwater, Florida company now offers GPS ankle bracelet monitoring for parents that let them know exactly where they are at all times - no matter what.
The service will cost parents between $8 and $10 a day, or about $300 a month, depending on which model of ankle monitor they go with.
Frank Kopcyynski, the owner of Tampa Bay Monitoring, told Fox 13 News that got the idea for the service after a mother called him asking for advice after her daughter kept running away.
"I average a half-a-dozen a week all over the country because they see this ad, and they're desperate," said Kopczynski.
A sales video for the company makes the pitch as a solution for parents with children "engaging in out-of-control behaviors," and they offer a variety of "GPS options for parents who are particularly concerned that their teen may be sneaking out of the house at night, skipping school, or at risk of running away."
"We offer a variety of options for parents whether they are simply looking out for their teens overall safety or concerned for the teen that may be sneaking out of the house at night or at risk of running away," the sales video says. "Since a court order is not required, parents are increasingly turning to GPS monitoring to deter their children's risky behavior."
The company boasts that the ankle bracelets can monitor exactly where a teen goes any time of the day, or night. Parents who shell out for an advanced model can up their Big Brother game by having the ability to call their kid, anywhere they might be. The system is two-ways, which means the staff at Tampa Bay Monitoring can listen in anytime they wish.
Kids who think they can hack the device won't have much luck, Kopczynski says. The bracelet is near-impossible to cut off and has the option of sounding an ear-piercing alarm.
"Even if they try to saw on this rubber, we know immediately that they are tampering with the device," said Kopczynski.

The various shows produced by the company including Cirque du Soleil Dralion have won a number of awards including two Drama Desk Awards, three Gemini Awards and four Primetime Emmy Awards amongst many more.
Cirque du Soleil Dralion was created by Guy Caron who had earlier been the first Artistic Director for Cirque du Soleil but had left in 1988. Caron is considered to be one of the pioneers of contemporary circus and founded the National Circus School in Montreal. He was convinced by Guy Laliberté to return to create a new show for the company. Working with a totally new team including set designer, Stéphane Roy, Guy Caron produced Dralion, which was to become the highest earning touring show for Cirque du Soleil. Guy Caron than worked as Director of Creation for another Cirque show KÀ in 2004. Gilles Ste-Croix is the Director of creation, Luc Lafortune is the lighting designer, Michel Dallaire has designed the Clown act and Julie Lachance has worked as a Choreographer on the Dralion. The music has been produced by Violaine Corradi.
Like the show itself, the musical background is also a union of eastern and western music. It incorporates tunes derived from melodies from cultures as far flung as Africa to India to Muslim Spain to China and is also influenced by modern day Rock and hip Hop. Cirque du Soleil Dralion tickets present a premier exhibit of the best acoustic systems ever. The wide range of electric instruments used are guitars, winds, violin, drums, keyboard and percussion instructions. The vocals are provided by Erik Karol, Agnès Sohier and Cristian Zabala. A huge sixty feet by twenty six feet metal structure provides the backdrop for Dralion. The structure is designed to look like a Chinese temple and has six gigantic claws on top. Three aluminum rings in the centre of the stage complete the set. Over fifteen hundred costumes designed by Costume designer, François Barbeau are worn by the cast during the performance. The costumes give a vivacious and pulsating look to the show and are based on themes inspired from China as well as Africa and India.
The cast of Cirque du Soleil Dralion features fifty performers including Amanda Orozco, Lorant Markocsany, Juan Carlos Bratoz, Michael Edward Hughes and Christopher Neiman. The basic theme revolves around a chosen child, a little Buddha and characters representing the four elements; Azala, the goddess of air; Gaya, the goddess of earth; Océane,the goddess of water; and Yao the god of fire. There are also Dralions, Clowns and L'Âme Force, the singers. The brilliant cast performs a number of diverse acts merging different acrobatic skills perfected in the western and the eastern classic circus. The audiences enjoy witnessing single hand balancing, juggling, aerial hoops, hoop diving, skipping ropes as never seen before. Others acts are Bamboo poles, Dralions, Medusa, Spirits and Aerial pas de deux
Cirque du Soleil Dralion amalgamates eastern and western circus together seamlessly. Aerial hoops are performed as a Tango and Scottish bagpipes are combined with African melodies.

Repeating Variables
The same variable can appear multiple times in the pattern. The pattern will match if and only if all parts of the subject tree that correspond to the variable occurrences are "the same". Two trees are "the same", if they have the same structure and each of the two corresponding tree node refers to the same element. Exceptions:
- single statement and a block with single statement are equivalent provided the statements are equivalent
- implicit "this." may be omitted
So, for example, the following pattern will match all assignments that read and write to the same variable:
$var = $var
So for example:
public class Test { private int i; public void t(Test other) { i = i; //will match the pattern this.i = i; //will match the pattern i = this.i; //will match the pattern i = other.i; //will NOT match the pattern } }
Multi Variables
$<name>$ will match any number of expressions, e.g.
new java.lang.String($args$)
will match any of the String's constructor. Can be be mixed with the single-expression variables, e.g.:
new java.lang.String($charArray, $rest) :: $charArray instanceof char[]
will match both the String(char[]) and String(char[], int, int) constructors.
Statements and Members
$<name>$; will match any number of statements or class members. The semicolon is needed so that the pattern is not ambiguous. The pattern parser might sometimes recover from the missing semicolon, but omitting it is strongly discouraged for statement/members.
In general, a given code may match pattern with multi variables multiple times with different assignments of subtrees to the multi variables. For example, consider pattern:
$preceding$; $lock.lock(); $intervening$; $lock.unlock(); $trailing$;
and code:
lock.lock(); System.err.println("1"); lock.unlock(); lock.lock(); System.err.println("2"); lock.unlock();
There are two possible matches, one with empty $preceding$; and one with empty $trailing$; multi variables. But the current engine cannot currently report both of these matches, only the first one (jlahoda: not 100% sure, should verify).
A special form to express any modifiers is
$mods$. Annotations generally belong into the modifiers. E.g.:
$mods$ $type $name;
will match any of:
private int I; private static int I; @Deprecated private static int I;
There are many caveats to the modifiers, one cannot currently express that the modifiers must contain a specific annotation, specific modifier, etc. Only "any modifiers" is specified. Also, multi statement pattern involving modifiers variable do not currently work properly. For example:
$mods$ $type $name; $name = $init;
does not work.
Patterns with Multiple Statements
It is possible to express a pattern that consists of several consecutive statements, e.g.:
java.lang.System.err.print($whatever$); java.lang.System.err.println(); => java.lang.System.err.println($whatever$); ;;
will convert:
private void t() { System.err.println("This is an example:"); System.err.print("Hello, world!"); System.err.println(); System.err.println("All done."); }
private void t() { System.err.println("This is an example:"); System.err.println("Hello, world!"); System.err.println("All done."); }
Note that if intervening statements are allowed, they need to be specified explicitly using
$<name>. For example, the above pattern won't match this:
private void t() { System.err.println("This is an example:"); System.err.print("Hello, world!"); printHelp(); System.err.println(); System.err.println("All done."); }
To allow intervening statements:
$document.readLock(); $statementsUnderLock$; $document.readUnlock(); :: $document instanceof javax.swing.text.AbstractDocument => $document.readLock(); try { $statementsUnderLock$; } finally { $document.readUnlock(); } ;;
which will match and rewrite:
private void t(AbstractDocument doc) { doc.readLock(); System.err.println("Under the lock!"); doc.readUnlock(); }
If some part of the tree is optional, the multi-expression or multi statement variable can be used to express that the pattern should match whether or not that optional part is present. For example:
if ($cond) $then else $else$;
will match both:
if (true) { System.err.println("foo bar"); }
if (true) { System.err.println("foo bar"); } else { System.err.println("bar foo"); }
XXX: there is a bug that this:
if (!$cond) $then else $else$;
does not work properly.
Can be also used to express an optional variable initializer:
$modifiers$ $variableType $name = $init$;
Conditions are specified after
::, their result can be negated using
! and result of multiple conditions can be and-ed using
&&. There is no "or" currently. Specifying multiple fixes or multiple rules works as an implicit "or".
Language Conditions
The conditions defined directly by the language are:
instanceof: which allows to specify a type of an expression variable. Only expressions assignable to the given type will be bound to the specified variable.
otherwise: valid only on the "fixes". Will evaluate to true if no fix above was used (XXX: cannot be negated currently). E.g. (note the constant matching - will match only if the string literal in the subject code will match the literal given in the pattern):
$str.equals("") => $str.isEmpty() :: sourceVersionGE(SourceVersion.RELEASE_6) => $str.length() == 0 :: otherwise ;;
will rewrite
var.equals("") to
var.isEmpty() for source levels >= 1.6, but to
var.length() == 0 in all other cases.
Standard Conditions
Other standard conditions are defined in DefaultRuleUtilities. Special variable
$_ represents the whole matching region. The notable ones are:
matchesAny(variable, one-or-more-patterns)true if and only if at least one of the given patterns matches the tree bound to the given variable
containsAny(variable, one-or-more-patterns)true if and only if at least one of the given patterns matches the tree bound to the given variable, or any of its subtrees
matchesWithBind(variable, one-patterns)similar to
matchesAny, but if the pattern matches, any free variables inside it will be bound as if it was specified as a normal pattern/rule.
matches(one-patterns)do not use - semi-deprecated. Use
matchesAny($_, the-pattern)instead.
Custom Conditions
Catch Pattern
try { $statements$; } catch $catches$ finally { $finally$; }
will match any resource-less try statement with finally block, with or without catch clauses. To find a specific catch clause:
try { $statements$; } catch $precedingCatches$ catch (NullPointerException ex) { $code$; } catch $trailingCatches$ finally { $finally$; }
There is currently no form to express optional finally section (i.e. two patterns are required, one with and one without finally).
Full Variable
$modifiers$ $type $name = $init$;
Full Method
For methods without type parameters and with body:
$modifiers$ $returnType $name($args$) throws $thrown$ { $bodyStatements$; }
For methods without type parameters and without body and without default value:
$modifiers$ $returnType $name($args$) throws $thrown$;
Note 1: after this fix, the following works for methods with and without type parameters, with body:
$modifiers$ <$typeParams$> $returnType $name($args) throws $thrown$ { $bodyStatements$; }
Note 2: this should work for annotation attribute methods with and without default value, but it does not work currently: $modifiers$ $returnType $name() default $def$;
Full Class
For classes without type parameters:
$modifiers$ class $name extends $superClass$ implements $superInterfaces$ { $members$; }
Various options can be specified inside <! > block. The currently recognized options are:
error(on fixes): report the given error through the standard refactoring means to the user (in I&T). Example:
System.err.println("Hello, world!"); => <!error='Cannot convert'> ;;
warning(on fixes): as
errorbut produced refactoring's warning instead of an error
hint(on hints): define a explicit ID for the hint. If missing, an ID will be inferred from the file name
description(on hints): a longer description of the hint. Will appear in the Tools/Options.
hint-category(on hints): the hint category into which the hint should be assigned in Tools/Options and Inspect&Transform. Most hints should not specify this.
suppress-warnings(on hints): keys for @SuppressWarnings, which will automatically suppress the given hint. Can specify more keys, separated with ','. An empty key has a special meaning: the keys before the empty key will be offered to the user for inclusion in the source code, while the after the empty key will not. All the keys (except the empty one) will suppress the warning.
ensure-dependency(on hints or files): will ensure that the current module/project will have the specified dependency. Format for specifying the dependency is currently not specified. Do not use unless you know what you are doing.

Cook the Book: Deviled Eggs with Smoked Salmon
Last week in The New York Times, Melissa Clark wrote about the plight of the cook in the hours leading up to Thanksgiving dinner. I'm sure most of us are familiar with the day of prep and cooking that leaves no time for a real lunch, where the starved host gets a bit cranky by the time the turkey hits the table. Clark's solution is a a great one—an appetizer and hors d'oeuvres spread to keep both host and guests sated before the main event.
In her article, Clark went with dips to ward off the pre-turkey hunger, but when perusing the pages of Eric Ripert's Avec Eric I came across these Deviled Eggs with Smoked Salmon, an hors d'oeuvre that never fails to please and seemed all-American enough to grace the Thanksgiving table.
Best of all, deviled eggs are hardly a time-consuming venture. A quick hard boil, scooping and mashing of yolks with a mix of crème fraîche, Dijon, smoked salmon, and lemon juice, back into the whites, and then into the fridge to chill until the hungry crowd arrives, leaving you with something to snack on while mashing those potatoes and basting the turkey, and your guests with something to nosh on while you are putting the finishing touches on the meal.
As always with our Cook the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of Avec Eric to give away this week.
Adapted from Avec Eric by Eric Ripert. Copyright © 2010. Published by Wiley. Available wherever books are sold. All Rights Reserved.
- Yield:2, makes 12 deviled eggs
- 6 large eggs
- 2 ounces smoked salmon, diced
- 2 tablespoons crème fraîche
- 1 tablespoon sliced chives
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Cayenne pepper
- 1 lemon, cut in half
- Paprika, for garnish
Place the eggs in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil, then cover and remove from the heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water, covered, for 12 to 15 minutes. Drain the hot water and run cold water over the boiled eggs until cool.
Peel the eggs and cut each egg in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks from the center and place them in a small mixing bowl. Set the egg white halves aside.
Add the smoked salmon, crème fraîche, chives and mustard to the egg yolks and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Squeeze enough of the lemon juice into the yolk mixture to season to taste.
Spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg whites. Garnish with paprika and serve.

Michigan Tech Researchers to Study Atmospheric Aerosols at PICO Mountain Research Observatory
By Marcia Goodrich | Published
In 2001, Richard Honrath established an atmospheric research station on the top of Mt. Pico, a cold, lonely, extinct volcano in the Azores.
Mt. Pico is the highest point in the Portuguese island chain and the only spot in the mid-Atlantic where the air is high enough to escape the effects of the ocean environment. For Honrath, director of Michigan Technological University's atmospheric sciences program, the mountain's remoteness and its elevation—7,713 feet—made it an ideal spot to study pollutants drifting east from North America. Until his death in 2009, the station was a center of Honrath's research, generating a stream of discoveries on a variety of atmospheric gases, including ozone, nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide from wildfires.
Since then, several scientists have carried on related work at the PICO (for Pico International atmospheric Chemistry Observatory) Mountain Observatory. Now, two major research projects in a different area of atmospheric science will take advantage of Mt. Pico's unique geography.
Wife and husband Lynn and Claudio Mazzoleni have received separate grants to characterize aerosols at the PICO Mountain Observatory.
Aerosols—a catch-all term for tiny particles and droplets suspended in the atmosphere—have attracted attention of late for their role in climate change. They reflect sunlight back into space, which can be a force for global cooling, or they can absorb sunlight, which would cause warming. They can also affect clouds in intricate ways that change anything from how reflective they are to how much rainfall they yield.
Figuring out their role is no easy task. Aerosols range from complex compositions like that of smoke to salt kicked up by ocean waves, and they interact with one another in a dizzying cascade of chemical reactions.
Lynn Mazzoleni, an assistant professor of chemistry, will focus on understanding aerosols' chemistry and how they interact with sunlight as the lead investigator on a $910,000 National Science Foundation project. The three-university endeavor includes the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of Colorado. Michigan Tech's share of the funding is $546,000.
Claudio Mazzoleni, an assistant professor of physics, is a coinvestigator on the project and is lead investigator on a related two-year, $300,000 US Department of Energy grant to characterize how much sunlight aerosols are reflecting or absorbing and how their reflective properties change as they drift across the cloud-covered Atlantic. In addition, the project could give the DOE a permanent site for gathering atmospheric data in the future.
Several other researchers are contributing to research efforts at Mt. Pico, including Research Scientist Chris Owen of the Michigan Tech Research Institute; Research Scientist Mike Dziobak and Assistant Professor Louisa Kramer of the Department of Geological and Mining Engineering and Sciences; Paulo Fialho of the University of the Azores; and Professor Noel Urban and Associate Professor Judith Perlinger of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
The same characteristics that prompted Honrath to establish the PICO Mountain Observatory make it a perfect spot to study aerosols.
Because PICO is so high above the ocean, any aerosols sampled there are almost guaranteed to have drifted east from the continent. "That's the beauty behind Richard's idea to put this research station in the mid-Atlantic," Lynn Mazzoleni said. Air pollution from Canada and the US is often overlooked, she noted. "Emissions from China are carefully monitored on the West Coast," she said. "People can actually see an aerosol plumes coming off of Asia. But the effect of aerosols from North America on Europe hasn't been well studied."
"Aerosols aren't static," said Claudio Mazzoleni. "They are constantly changing, and understanding that is important to understanding aerosols' role in climate change."
While they are bringing a new research focus to the PICO Mountain Observatory, the Mazzolenis do not view themselves as picking up Honrath's torch.
"We are really more interested in collaborating with him via his former students, postdocs and collaborators," Lynn Mazzoleni said. "We're not taking over the site nor the evaluation of trace gases."
"When I came here for an interview, Richard was one of the people I talked with, and he said it would be great to have aerosol instruments up there," Claudio added. "He introduced us to the site, and it was obvious that the effort he made at Pico was incredible. We are so grateful. Without his pioneering vision and years of research at the site, we couldn't be doing this."
Michigan Technological University is a public research university, home to more than 7,000 students from 54 countries. Founded in 1885, the University offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in science and technology, engineering, forestry, business and economics, health professions, humanities, mathematics, and social sciences. Our campus in Michigan's Upper Peninsula overlooks the Keweenaw Waterway and is just a few miles from Lake Superior.

The problem with these pictures is their strange relation to the text. A section on pronouns includes a sample sentence that mentions "Polly." On the facing page is a loud, large picture of Polly--who has nothing to do with the topic under discussion. Ms. Kalman's pictures are like a kibitzer's random observations during a conversation among friends.Whimsy does not amuse Gelertner, who seems to attribute many of his own ideas to to "Elements" co-author E.B. White:
[White] insisted on simplicity, clarity, concreteness. He would have despised subliterate email, unedited Web ramblings and gaseous literary criticism posing as philosophy.But enough rambling. Let's get to the point I wanted to make, as evinced by the post title:
White ... hated politicized writing; in 1979, he added a new rule to "Elements" to explain just why "gender-neutral writing" is ridiculous. "The use of he as a pronoun for nouns embracing both genders is a simple, practical convention rooted in the beginnings of the English language. He has lost all suggestion of maleness in these circumstances." But the 1999 revision slips an extra sentence into White's rule, like an assassin slipping a stiletto into someone's back: "Currently, however, many writers find the use of the generic he or his to rename indefinite antecedents limiting or offensive." But White never minded offending people. He rejected the trendy and glitzy. He admired good craftsmanship. He didn't mind being called old-fashioned.I wonder if we regret it now, shifting over to gender-neutral writing. We sacrificed elegance to make a political point -- over and over again, in texts that have nothing to do with gender politics, and long after everyone has absorbed and accepted the point. Women are equal. We all get it. And yet we must go on forever, writing (and speaking) awkwardly.

An apathetic and marginalised electorate have been woken up by the new Labour leader, this shouldn't be ignored writes Ruairí O'Grady.Share799 Tweet86
MORE THAN THREE-quarters of people would support the government looking into the prospect of a four-day work week, according to a new survey.
This means doing the same job for the same salary, but over four days rather than five.
There have been calls for this idea to be explored already and the Four Day Week Ireland campaign today released details on its public attitude survey conducted last month.
Two out of three respondents said a four-day work week is "realistic and achievable" in the medium term.
67% of employers said they support the idea and 46% said it would be "feasible" to trial in their workplace.
"The four-day week, with no loss of pay, offers the potential of a genuinely better future for workers and employers alike," said Joe O'Connor, director of campaigning with Fórsa trade union.
What may once have seemed like a radical concept is now, for many, a reasonable and rational ambition. The Covid-19 pandemic has further disrupted societal and workplace norms, while illustrating the potential for very different models of work.
So today we're asking: Would you support a four-day work week?
Poll Results:
At times drumming up the publicity needed to generate funds turned out to be harder than the actual mountain-climbing, writes Dermot Behan.
Legal experts David Kenny and Conor Casy say there is 'too much at stake' to do nothing about hybrid or virtual sittings.
The Sinn Féin leader says in a pandemic and now recession, the lack of clarity from Government is the last thing the country needs.
Former ambassador Bobby McDonagh says Johnson's team have used every excuse to cover their breach of international law, short of the PM eating his own homework.
