Advancing the Common Good in Canada
Policy developed by Jason Kenney Keys a Conservative Party victory.
OTTAWA — As Canada's minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, Jason Kenney is arguably the most influential Catholic in Canada. He is credited with the policy that wooed a large segment of immigrant and minority voters to his Conservative Party and away from the Liberals, giving the "Tories" their first majority in Parliament in decades in the spring 2011 election. He has criticized both his American Catholic university and the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops for un-Catholic behaviors.
Kenney is touted to succeed Prime Minister Stephen Harper as next leader of the Conservatives.
Were you a cradle Catholic or a convert?
How did that come about?
As a young guy I was always interested. I had Catholic friends; I used to go to Mass. I was attracted to the sacraments. I actually was keen on going to the junior seminary at Westminster Abbey in New Westminster, B.C., but that didn't work out because I wasn't yet a Catholic; so it was a long process that was both intellectual and spiritual that ended up seeing me enter the Church in my third year of college at the St. Ignatius Institute at the University of San Francisco.
You quit that college for philosophical reasons.
Yeah, I quit after three years. I didn't finish my degree and came back to Canada. I became involved in student politics. … There was a movement among the students to encourage the university to be consistent with its identity as a Catholic institution.
I guess the big question is how your religious faith and your politics relate. Is there a connection?
Well, I believe in a pluralistic, liberal democracy. Everyone comes into the public square with certain core convictions, a certain worldview that's informed by most deeply held convictions about the ultimate questions. For me, that view is partly formed by my Catholic faith. I think it's important in a liberal democracy that people of faith not be excluded from participating in democratic debate, but it's also important they not impose a kind of narrow, sectarian agenda, but rather to advance the common good in a way that brings others along.
For me, the lodestar is human dignity, the inviolable nature of human dignity. This is a principle which obviously is deeply grounded in Catholic social thought, but it is also one that has universal social application.
We live in time when some loud voices in society are denouncing any religious influence in the public square. What do you make of them? Are they sincere, or is this talk another stick to beat political conservatives with?
Yeah, I think it tends to be that; I think there is a huge double standard on this issue. For example, the huge social-reform movement in Canada, until recently, was largely influenced and founded by people of strong faith — people you might call the religious left, the social-gospel movement — and they brought ideas about the common good into the public square that were formed by their Christian faith. But I never recall anyone questioning the right of members of the social-gospel movement to participate in the democratic life. So I do think there is a double standard.
I would remind people that many of the greatest social and political achievements in democracy have been at the inspiration of people of faith, like the abolitionists — William Wilberforce [in England] and the abolitionists in the United States; the Temperance and Suffragette movements that did so much to address issues of poverty and social exclusion; the civil-rights movement of the Rev. Martin Luther King and the black church in the United States. Many of these important social advances were made by people in politics who were motivated by their faith.
Before this election you made a public criticism of some of the staff at the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops. What was that about?
I had brought forward what I considered prudent and necessary legislation to dissuade criminal human smuggling operations from targeting Canada. A committee of the Conference of Catholic Bishops wrote a letter in response condemning our proposed changes and suggesting they were motivated by xenophobia. I thought this letter really crossed a line by imputing bad motives, and I also thought it was based on a weak and flawed analysis of the legislation and the problem. I thought it did not take into account the weight that Catholic social teaching places on the prudential responsibility of legislators and the competent authorities to deal with these issues. It was a torqued, one-sided and somewhat ideological perspective that I thought was probably drafted and circulated by ideological bureaucrats at the CCCB. It appeared to me that the letter had been largely cut and pasted by, presumably, Church bureaucrats, from documents that had been circulated by left-wing pressure groups, and, with my humble respect, this was not the way the Church should be engaging on public matters. They never contacted me beforehand. They never sought any dialogue. A lot of people in the Canadian Church contacted me afterwards and said I had made some valid points and they would seek a dialogue to prevent these situations from developing.
In the spring election, your Conservatives won 30 of 45 seats in the immigrant-rich Toronto area, all new seats for the Conservatives. First of all, how did the Liberals come to have a lock on the immigrant vote for decades?
That's a very good question. Starting from the early 1970s, with [a surge in] the non-European immigration, the Liberals [under Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau] became the most effective at dominating the symbolic politics of diversity and immigration with their multiculturalism policy. They were very effective at developing political relationships with cultural communities. That's where the Conservatives were really weak; to put it more simply, Conservatives just didn't show up, didn't cultivate these relationships with cultural communities, and left the field to the Liberals alone. And, consequently, by the year 2000 election, one study suggests, the Liberals had about a 60-point lead over us amongst visible minority Canadians. In this election, it appears we had about a 20-point lead over the Liberals and a clear plurality amongst the votes of immigrants in Canada.
That has happened for a number of reasons. First, we have started showing up. We very deliberately developed relationships of trust with cultural communities, communicating with the large ethnic media spectrum, dealing with issues of importance to many communities that had been neglected … such as redress of the Chinese Head Tax and Exclusion Act; such as recognizing the genocidal nature of the Ukrainian Holodomor, the planned famine (under Josef Stalin); such as granting a visa exemption for Poland; assisting the Vietnamese community in resettling the last remaining boat people from Southeast Asia — a long list of such achievements, all of which are consistent with our principles.
That allowed us to establish credibility so that new Canadians would … tune in to our message on entrepreneurialism, on support for families, on being tough on crime. Our government listened and delivered on issues of importance, and people started to realize their values are essentially conservative values.
Do you think the Republican Party in the U.S. has a chance to do the same thing with, say, the Hispanic vote?
Yeah, I do. And I've always been perplexed as to why they haven't done better. It seems to me the essentially conservative values of immigrants to Canada are probably pretty similar to values of immigrants all around the developed world: a tremendous work ethic with a natural belief in personable responsibility, entrepreneurship — typically a disproportionate number of small businesses are started by immigrants — a deep devotion to family and respect for religious faith. These are the typical characteristics of immigrants, whether it is in Canada or the United States. Much of what we do here could be applicable to other countries. But I'm not a commentator on U.S. politics. I'll leave that to others.

Building Modules
There are many applications, tests, and extra subsystems in the ReactOS SVN. We don't include them because they're usually not part of everyday's development/testing/use.
Available Modules
We currently have the following modules in the SVN Tree:
- rosapps – Various non-core applications, like additional screensavers, devutils and cmdutils.
- rostests - Home of our testing framework (Winetests and Rostests), which includes API conformance tests (both usermode and kernelmode APIs), plus the automatic application testing suite (based on AutoHotkey)
- wallpapers – Several wallpapers for ReactOS Desktop.
Downloading the Modules
The following example will show how to download the "rostests" module. To download any other module follow the same steps but using the name of the desired module.
Step 1
Find the reactos\modules (Windows) or reactos/modules (Unix) folder
Step 2
As we want to download the "rostests" module create a folder named rostests.
Step 3
Right click in that new folder and select checkout("SVN Checkout..")
Step 4
The "URL of repository" of "rostest" is: svn://svn.reactos.org/reactos/trunk/rostests
Step 5
Hit OK. It'll begin downloading the needed files. Compile as usual and you'll have the modules integrated in the ISO.
If you want to download the rosapps or wallpaper module, just create a rosapps or wallpapers folder inside reactos/modules and use the following links as the URL of repository:
- Rosapps: svn://svn.reactos.org/reactos/trunk/rosapps
- Wallpaper: svn://svn.reactos.org/reactos/trunk/wallpapers
List available ninja targets
To list available targets do:
ninja -t targets
ninja -t targets >target_list
Select from there target for build or clean:
ninja <target1>_clean
ninja <target1>
Removing or Updating a Module
If you remove a Module folder after CMake picks it up, it will not notice, until you tell it to reconfigure.
The reconfigure command depends on the Build System you are using.
With ninja do:
ninja rebuild_cache
For other build systems use:
nmake rebuild_cache
make rebuild_cache
Technical information
In the reactos/modules or reactos\modules folder, depending on whether you're on a UNIX or Windows system, there is a file called directory.cmake.
The Build system will read the directory.cmake file and look if the subfolders named in this file exist. If a folder exists, the Build System will process its directory.cmake file. This way the folder gets integrated into the building process.

2006-06-15 8-bit MCUs pack Ethernet MAC/PHY, flash on single chip
Taiwan — ASIX Electronics Corp.'s AX110xx family of 8-bit microcontrollers embed 10/100Mbps fast Ethernet MAC/PHY, the TCP/IP accelerator, and flash memory on a single chip.
The AX11001/AX11005 and AX11015 MCUs tout a single-cycle pipelined 8051/80390 core (up to 100MIPS), 128 to 512 KBytes flash memory, and 32KBytes RAM. The embedded Ethernet PHY supports Auto-MDIX, which allows either the straight-through or crossover cables to be directly connected to the device easily. The AX110xx family supports serial communication interfaces such as I²C, SPI bus, three UART (with one supporting 921.6Kbps), and 1-wire. The parallel interfaces supported include external memory interface, local bus, and Ethernet MII.
The MCUs have been designed to provide a very small form-factor solution to enable embedded system designers to design compact, low power, high performance yet low cost embedded and industrial Ethernet systems and subsystems for the growing embedded networking markets. Targeted applications include home appliances, factory/building automation, industrial equipments, security systems, remote control/monitoring/management, and streaming media applications such as POS terminals, vending machines, IP camera, Internet radio, automatic meter reading, environmental monitoring systems, network sensors, networked UPS, Serial to Ethernet adapter, and Ethernet to ZigBee bridge.
The timing functions can be achieved through a watchdog timer, three general-purpose 16-bit timers, and a 5-channel programmable counter array (PCA). There are four full ports of offering total 32 controllable IO lines (GPIO). The AX110xx family all supports run-time firmware or driver update through Ethernet or UART, the so-called In Application Programming (IAP). Aside from supporting commercial temperature range (0~70), ASIX also provides a separate industrial temperature range version targeted for applications that need extended operating temperature range (-40 C to 85 C).
There is a growing need to add network connectivity into every embedded systems. Based on reports by Forrester Research, by the year 2010, up to 95% of the devices used to access the Internet will be non-PC devices that use an embedded system. In other words, the network connectivity of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication will be the primary market demand for the embedded networking system for the years to come. Ethernet's ease of use, cost effectiveness, high bandwidth, stability, security, and a high degree of compatibility makes it a natural solution for accessing the Internet. In addition to SOHO and corporate networks, Ethernet is gradually making its way into consumer and household devices as a primary way to access the Internet, satisfying both the stability and reliability demanded by industrial users and the bandwidth and multimedia connectivity demanded by home consumers.
To help customers evaluate and develop with AX110xx family platform, ASIX provides comprehensive technical support information in a Development/Reference Design Kit. The Kit includes the hardware and software application notes, user guides, schematics, PCB layout guide, and the firmware C source code for the AX110xx family with free of charge. In addition, ASIX also offers several versions of platform available for customers' development purpose.
Limited samples of the AX110xx single-chip microcontroller with TCP/IP and 10/100M Fast Ethernet MAC/PHY are available now, and volume production is scheduled in August 2006. The chips are offered in RoHS compliant version. Pricing for the AX11001 is $4.99 in 10,000-piece quantities. For pricing on the AX11005 and AX11015, please contact Asix directly.

This watch can be worn while diving. The value refers to the pressure in water, at that depth, while motionless... and should not be seen as the depth for wearing the watch.
Condensation - important!
Rapid changes in temperature can cause condensation inside the watch. If you notice moisture beneath the glass, you should immediately go to a watchmaker, who can open and dry the watch. Even if the signs of moisture disappears, by themselves... the moisture will not - and will eventually damage your watch - so, visit a professional and remove it permanently. Even waterproof watches are not protected against condensation, so keep that in mind if you plan to go from very hot to very cold temperatures - like from a hot sauna directly to the snow. If condensation occurs, it very rarely (if ever) depends on manufacturing, so if your watch is damaged by moisture, warranty will probably not cover it (it could be manufacturing issues, but... most likely it will be because of the rapid change of temperature = natural causes).
This watch has a width of 41 mm (the dial, measured from left to right, with the crown excluded). Even if some watches are not perfectly circle shaped, we still use the term: diameter - and we only measure the case, completely ignoring the crown (even though some includes it, in their measurements).
Case made of stainless steel.
Does this watch fit your wrist? Wristwatches has gradually become larger in size, and a typical men's watch is usually between 40 and 45 mm wide.

'Light Itself Is Created Anew'
Highlights from Pope Benedict's Easter celebration. April 22 issue feature.
Employing characteristic lucidity and simplicity of speech, Pope Benedict XVI's homilies over Easter offered the faithful plenty of thought-provoking and inspiring reflections.
Perhaps his most eloquent came during the highpoint of the solemnities, the Easter vigil Mass in St. Peter's Basilica, when the Holy Father gave a homily on the meaning of divine light and illumination.
"The darkness of the previous days is driven away the moment Jesus rises from the grave and himself becomes God's pure light," the Pope said. "With the resurrection of Jesus, light itself is created anew. He draws all of us after him into the new light of the Resurrection, and he conquers all darkness. He is God's new day, new for all of us."
"Christ," he added, "takes you by the hand. From now on, you are held by him and walk with him into the light, into real life. For this reason, the early Church called baptism photismos — illumination."
In contrast, the Holy Father explained that darkness "poses a real threat to mankind," because, although man can see and investigate material things, his values are obscured. "If God and moral values, the difference between good and evil, remain in darkness, then all other 'lights' that put such incredible technical feats within our reach are not only progress, but also dangers that put us and the world at risk," the Pope said.
By way of analogy, he noted that today's cities are illuminated so brightly that the stars of the sky are no longer visible.
"Is this not an image of the problems caused by our version of enlightenment?" Benedict asked. "With regard to material things, our knowledge and our technical accomplishments are legion, but what reaches beyond, the things of God and the question of good, we can no longer identify."
The answer to this danger, the Holy Father added, is faith, "which reveals God's light to us" and is "the true enlightenment, enabling God's light to break into our world, opening our eyes to the true light."
The Pope's Easter homilies began on Palm Sunday — a time, he said, when Christians should offer praise, similar to those who welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem, and thanksgiving, because this is when Jesus will renew "the greatest gift we could possibly imagine": his life, his body and his blood, his love.
During the chrism Mass on Holy Thursday in St. Peter's, the Pope issued a clear reminder of what it means to be a priest on a day that traditionally celebrates Christ's institution of the Eucharist and the priesthood. The priest, the Holy Father stressed, must have zeal for the salvation of souls, true obedience and a life given wholly to Christ.
To show how obedience rather than disobedience is the path to a true renewal of the Church, the Holy Father surprisingly drew attention to a group of around 300 dissenting Austrian priests who are directly challenging Church teachings on issues such as homosexuality, divorce and remarriage, clerical celibacy and the ordination of women.
It is highly unusual for the Pope to explicitly refer to such a group in a homily, yet he criticized them gently, quizzing them as to whether disobedience is a path of renewal for the Church. He answered by stressing that Jesus' concern was for "true obedience, as opposed to human caprice."
Authentic renewal of the Church and a "new fruitfulness," he added, "requires the joy of faith, the radicalism of obedience, the dynamic of hope and the power of love."
Benedict closed by saying that a priest "never belongs to himself" and that people "must sense our zeal, through which we bear credible witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
During the Mass of the Lord's Supper in St. John Lateran Basilica that evening, when he customarily washed the feet of 12 priests of Rome, the Pope explained in further detail the meaning of Holy Thursday, but this time with an emphasis on every person.
Holy Thursday is not only about the institution of the Eucharist, the Pope explained, but also "the dark night of the Mount of Olives, to which Jesus goes with his disciples." After explaining Jesus' own inner struggle to do God's will and take on humanity's sins, he contrasted the Passion with man's usual concept of freedom.
Man's belief that if he is free of God he is free to do his own will, "is the fundamental rebellion present throughout history and the fundamental lie which perverts life," the Holy Father said.
"When human beings set themselves against God, they set themselves against the truth of their own being and, consequently, do not become free, but alienated from themselves," he continued. "We are free only if we stand in the truth of our being, if we are united to God. Then we become truly 'like God' — not by resisting God, eliminating him or denying him."
At the end of the Via Crucis at the Colosseum on Good Friday, the Pope appropriately expounded on the meaning of suffering, saying it is to the love of Christ that we must turn "when human turmoil and difficulties threaten the unity of our lives and our families."
"The mystery of Christ's suffering, death and resurrection inspires us to go on in hope," the Pope said. "In that crucified Man who is the Son of God, even death itself takes on new meaning and purpose: It is redeemed and overcome; it becomes a passage to new life."
Reflecting on the joy of Christ's redemption during his address urbi et orbi (to Rome and to the world) on Easter Sunday, the Pope recalled the jubilation of Mary Magdalene and all the faithful who have journeyed through the desert of Lent and the sorrow of the Passion and then "raise the cry of victory: 'He is risen! He is truly risen!'"
As is usual, the Holy Father used the address to highlight areas of conflict and suffering in the world. He called on the risen Christ to grant hope to the Middle East, particularly the people of Syria, where he implored an end to the bloodshed and "immediate commitment to the path of respect, dialogue and reconciliation." He also asked Jesus to comfort the suffering in Africa, in particular the Horn of Africa, Nigeria, the Great Lakes Region and Sudan and South Sudan.

Football fans leave behind warmth, sun for frozen tundra
Football fans left behind sunny skies and 65 degrees to come to Wisconsin for Sunday's NFC Wild Card Game in Green Bay.
As WISN 12 News' Toni Valliere reports some came prepared, others are in for a shock.
VIDEO: Football fans arrive at Mitchell International Airport
San Francisco fans and Packers fans came face-to-face Friday night at Mitchell International Airport before making their way to Green Bay.
"Never been to Wisconsin before, so I'm excited to be here, a new adventure," said 49ers fan David Forbus, of Santa Cruz.
"I can't imagine not coming to this game. It's gonna be a record-breaker as far as the cold," said Packers fan Glenn Christensen, of Grapevine, Texas.
Facing wind chills 20 to 30 below, it could be one for the record books.
"If it's gonna be the coldest football game in NFL history, then we want to be part of it," said. 49ers fan Andrew Hughan, of Sacramento.
Fans flying in for Sunday's game were arriving from much warmer places like San Francisco and Dallas, but it might surprise you who is more prepared for the extreme cold.
Salvador Martinez flew in from Santa Cruz.
"I have a suitcase full of snow gear and some masks, and I think I'm prepared," Martinez said.
Marcus Gonzales, a 49ers fan from Santa Cruz, got a new wardrobe for the trip.
"All stuff I'll wear one time because at home I don't need it," Gonzales said.
Even though Christensen is a Green Bay native, he admitted he's not totally prepared
"We don't have the right clothes. We're going shopping while we're here," Christensen said.
"Yeah, a little different than Texas for sure," Christensen said.
The coldest game at Lambeau Field was the Ice Bowl in 1967.

John Giles/PA wire file
The National Transportation Safety Bureau recommended Tuesday to lower the legal blood-alcohol content level to .05 from .08.
WASHINGTON – The National Transportation Safety Board voted to recommend to states that they lower the blood-alcohol content that constitutes drunken driving.
Currently, all 50 states have set a BAC level of .08, reflecting the percentage of alcohol, by volume, in the blood. If a driver is found to have a BAC level of .08 or above, he or she is subject to arrest and prosecution.
The National Transportation Safety Board is advising states to lower the Blood Alcohol Level that defines drunk driving from .08 to .05, which they say is the level at which many drivers' vision can be affected. NBC's Tom Costello reports.
The NTSB recommends dropping that to a BAC level of .05.
Each year, nearly 10,000 people die in alcohol-related traffic accidents and 170,000 are injured, according to the NTSB. While that's a big improvement from the 20,000 who died in alcohol-related accidents 30 years ago, it remains a consistent threat to public safety.
Studies show that each year, roughly 4 million people admit to driving while under the influence of alcohol.
The recommendation prompted immediate criticism from restaurant trade groups.
"This recommendation is ludicrous," said Sarah Longwell, managing director of American Beverage Institute. "Moving from 0.08 to 0.05 would criminalize perfectly responsible behavior.
"Further restricting the moderate consumption of alcohol by responsible adults prior to driving does nothing to stop hardcore drunk drivers from getting behind the wheel."
The United States, Canada and Iraq are among a small handful of countries that have set the BAC level at .08. Most countries in Europe, including Russia, most of South America and Australia, have set BAC levels at .05 to constitute drunken driving.
When Australia dropped its BAC level from .08 to .05, provinces reported a 5-18 percent drop in traffic fatalities.
Karolyn Nunnallee, a mother who lost her daughter Patty in the deadliest drunk-driving accident in in 1988 and served as a president of MADD, speaks ahead of the 25 anniversary of the Carrollton, Ky., bus collision.
The NTSB reports that at .05 BAC, some drivers begin having difficulties with depth perception and other visual functions. At .07, cognitive abilities become impaired.
At .05 BAC, the risk of having an accident increases by 39 percent. At .08 BAC, the risk of having an accident increases by more than 100 percent.
The NTSB believes that if all 50 states changed their standard to .05, nearly 1,000 lives could be saved each year. It is also considering other steps to help bring down the death rates on America's roads.
The NTSB is an investigative agency that advocates on behalf of safety issues. It has no legal authority to order any change to state or federal law. It would be up to individual states whether to accept the NTSB's recommendation, and up to the Department of Transportation whether to endorse the recommendations.
The last move from .10 to .08 BAC levels took 21 years for each state to implement.

So I have a new desktop computer. I installed Wheezy on it via a USB stick, and everything worked. All the hardware. Yay. I guess we take it for granted when things like sound, disks, and network cards just work these days. I remmeber fighting with distros in the past, where such things were not necessarily straightforward.
The only minor complication is the graphics card. I bought a cheap/random GeForce card for the new machine (£30):
$ lspci -nn | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GF119 [GeForce GT 610] [10de:104a] (rev a1)
Booting up I get a working X.org and GNOME 3.x, but the open graphics driver is "too bad" so I get fallback GNOME; with "Applications" & "Places" menus.
Installing the proprietry driver gave me a full GNOME 3.x experience. But I didn't like it so for the moment I'm running:
- GNOME fallback mode.
- Bluetile.
- Open (nvidia) drivers only.
The plan was to install awesome, or similar, but I'm just a creature of habit and I'm still cloning git/mercurial repos and selectively restoring backups.
My old desktop has been given to my partner to replace the EeeeeePC she's been using for the past year.
I'll fettle over the weekend until I'm back up and running properly; but for the moment I'm good. All my videos/music are ported across. I can print, and I have access to the repos I'm currently working on. (Mostly lumail which will have a new release over the weekend.)

Parapente (Paragliding) acquired its name from the French words "parachute" and "pente" (mountainside). It began in the 1960's from a NASA program, but practically the sport was established in the mid 1980's in France.
This sport requires good physical condition, excellent technical, psychological and metal alertness, perceptiveness, as well as knowledge of meteorology and aerodynamics which are taught by special instructors. Taking into account weather conditions, the parapente can reach a height of 4,000 m and can travel a distance of 2.0-2,5 km. Flights may last several hours, with speeds ranging from 48 to 60 kph.
Greece has the ideal climate for parapente (paragliding) flights, since the drier the climate of an area or a country is, the better it is for the development of the sport.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (Sept. 22, 2012) – Although many beach volleyball teams were celebrating the end of summer and their seasons on Saturday at the Jose Cuervo Pro Beach Volleyball Series National Championships in Huntington Beach, Calif., some were still looking forward to another event.
The NORCECA Beach Volleyball Tour will be at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif., on Sept. 28-30 and several U.S. teams competing in Huntington will be there.
The team of Emily Day (Torrance, Calif.) and Heather Hughes (Fallbrook, Calif.) lost their first match of the day on Saturday to Olaya Pazo Pérez (Caracas, Venezuela) and Kendra VanZwieten, 21-16, 29-27. They team came back in consolation to win two matches before falling to Christal Engle (Puyallup, Wash.) and Tealle Hunkus (Girard, Ohio), 21-17, 21-15.
Day and Hughes are hoping for a positive result to end their season as a team in Chula Vista. The players will both be competing at the FIVB World Tour event on Oct. 23-28 in Thailand with different partners.
"I think we've done all right this season," Day said. "We always are striving for bigger and better. We fight hard every match."
Day had her best result of the season competing with Summer Ross (San Diego, Calif.) at the World University Championships on Sept. 12-16 in Maceio, Brazil where the pair won the gold medal.
"It was awesome. It is so fun to play international and to be there representing the USA is an amazing feeling," Day said. "You have a team atmosphere with the other U.S. teams there. You watch them and they watch you."
Summer Ross is also scheduled to compete in Chula Vista with Morgan Beck (Coto de Caza, Calif.). Ross and Geena Urango (Los Alamitos, Calif.) tried to qualify for Huntington Beach on Friday, but lost in the second round of the qualifying bracket.
On the men's side, Huntington Beach marked the return of the pairing of Jeff Carlson (Newport Beach, Calif.) and Tony Ciarelli (Huntington Beach, Calif.). The pair won the silver medal at the 2008 FIVB youth world championship and also has played together on the men's volleyball team at the University of Southern California.
Although pair had only practiced together for three weeks this summer, Carlson didn't find it hard to get back with his partner.
"It hasn't been too hard. He's always been a beach player," Carlson said of Ciarelli. "His transition hasn't been too bad."
Carlson was looking forward to a rest before the Chula Vista competition as he and Ciarelli had won three matches on Friday to qualify for the Huntington Beach main draw, and then played three more on Saturday.
After losing their first match on Saturday to Matt Fuerbringer (Costa Mesa, Calif.) and Nick Lucena (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.), 21-16, 21-15, Carlson and Ciarelli came back to win their first consolation match before falling to John Hyden (Sherman Oaks, Calif.) and Sean Scott (Kailua, Hawaii), 21-16, 21-18.
Carlson was looking forward to facing some new competition in Chula Vista.
"It's good to see different guys out here because you see the same guys every week," Carlson said. "(Playing more internationally) is definitely our goal."
Play will begin at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday at the Jose Cuervo Pro Beach Volleyball Series National Championships with the finals of the consolation bracket.
On the men's side, Fuerbringer and Lucena will play Hyden and Scott to see who will play Ryan Doherty (Toms River, N.J.) and Casey Patterson (Van Nuys, Calif.) in the semifinals.
Also in the consolation bracket, Jake Gibb (Bountiful, Utah) and Sean Rosenthal (Redondo Beach, Calif.) will play Stein Metzger (Honolulu, Hawaii) and Mark Williams (Sydney, Australia) to see who will play Brad Keenan (Westminster, Calif.) and John Mayer (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) in the other semifinal.
In the women's consolation final, Brooke Niles (Woodland Hills, Calif.) and Tyra Turner (Fort Myers Beach, Fla.) will play Engle and Hunkus to advance to the semifinal against Jenny Kropp (Holly Glen, Calif.) and Whitney Pavlik (Laguna Beach, Calif.).
On the other side of the bracket, Lauren Fendrick (Carlsbad, Calif.) and Rachel Scott (Laguna Beach, Calif.) will face Angie Akers (Fort Wayne, Ind.) and Brittany Hochevar (Fowler, Colo.) for the chance to play Jennifer Fopma (Bellflower) and Brooke Sweat (Hermosa Beach) in the other semifinal.

I have no idea who had it before. But apparently she was quite active in doing monthly breast exams. So much so that she subscribed to a phone service (run by a local celebrity) to remind her.
So, for the last 9 years, on the 5th day of each month, at 8:00 p.m. sharp (who picked that time?) when the office line is rolled over to my cell phone, I always get this recorded message: "Hi! This is Pamela Perky! Calling to remind you that it's time to do your monthly breast check! And call a buddy, and remind her to do it, too!"
I once called the service. They refused to take me off the list, since I didn't know the name of the original subscriber.

Wikileaks reveals the CIA is just as evil as you thought they were. Quantum computers are not far away at IBM. NASDAQ compares Bitcoin to gold and government-issued currency. People's Bank of China doublespeak on Bitcoin regulations. Bitcoin transaction fees are causing the crypto to lose support and vendors. Many Bitcoin addresses have less BTC than the fees needed to move it. Darren talks about soft forks, hard forks, and sporks. DASH remains strong and the DDoS on DASH Masternodes may just be a badge of honor. China has first trade deficit in three years. Randy mentions Louis CK's show "Horace and Pete" because it made him weep and Louis CK accepts Bitcoin.

Ice holds when truck plunges from overpass onto frozen pond
ST. PAUL, Minn. – The arctic cold gripping much of the nation turned out to be a lifesaver for one Minnesota motorist.
The driver of a pickup truck apparently lost control Tuesday morning and the vehicle plunged from an overpass at Interstate 694 and Interstate 35E north of St. Paul, CBS station WCCO in Minneapolis reported.The pickup was headed northbound on 35E when it went off the overpass and crashed down onto a frozen holding pond along 694. The overpass runs dozens of feet above the holding pond. Because the weather has been so cold, the ice on the pond didn't break when the truck hit it. The driver, the only person in the vehicle, managed to walk away with only minor injuries, the Minnesota Department of Transportation said.
Authorities later identified her as a 54-year-old Anne Spiess of Maplewood, Minn.
Road conditions in the Twin Cities, where temperatures have been below zero degrees, were slippery Tuesday morning.

Is your Weatherman really a False Prophet? (2 min.)

God of the gaps
The rabbi's final comments are a phenomenal non-sequiter. The fact that we lack enough information and knowledge to explain something does not mean that God caused it. This turns God into a God of the gaps. Rabbi, when someone develops a more precise method of predicting the weather, will you become an athiest? Your comments imply that you will.
(4) Gregory, February 28, 2006 12:00 AM
Why go as far as the weather to claim that G-d runs the world, after all?
I think there's a much better and more universal example: Mortality. No matter how much scientists and geneticists try to make IMMORTALITY a possibility, it evades us.
Nothing and no one lasts forever, besides HaShem Alone!
- Something to think about......
(3) Anonymous, February 27, 2006 12:00 AM
In response to Kate; Isn't that what the Rabbi said, that God really does run the world (not only the weather). The ultimate consolation is that fact alone. Everything is ordained from heaven, and a person doesn't even bang him finger unless it is decreed. Start with the weather, and belief and faith in God will spread to the rest of life. Aish.com did not ignore this issue but did feature an excellent Jerusalem Post article on this weeks website.
God runs the world. That's really something to think about.
(2) Daniela, February 27, 2006 12:00 AM
Uhhh....I dunno....
I don't know if right now predicting the weather is a good way to tell if G-d is running the world or not - we're only however long before we indeed figure out how to accurately predict or even manipulate the weather. After all, some years ago you could have said the same thing about cloning and measuring the width of galaxies millions of light years away. I think there are plenty of indicators that G-d runs the world that don't even have to have anything to do with the state of our knowledge of the workings of the universe. Surely we can come up with something else ? (I myself can't think of any at the moment, I have to get ready for work. :)).

How about words to console a Jewish mourning mother
In memory of Ilan Halimi, 23, a young Jew who died this week in Paris. Ilan was held and subjected to horrific tortures for three weeks before his naked and mutilated body was dumped in the street near a suburban train station outside Paris, France on Monday. Handcuffed, gagged and covered in burns and torture marks, he died on the way to hospital.

We believe you should only get the mail you want to get. Some of you already use the "Report Spam" button on all kinds of unwanted email, and for that we're very thankful: the more spam you mark, the better our system gets at weeding out junk mail.
Unsubscribing from mailing lists and newsletters you subscribed to a while back but no longer want to receive should be just as easy. Searching through individual messages for little unsubscribe links is too big a pain —you should be able to unsubscribe with a single click.
So we just launched something that makes this all work better, both for Gmail users and big email senders. Now, when you report spam on a legitimate newsletter or mailing list, we'll help you unsubscribe. After clicking report spam, you'll see a little dialog like this:
Clicking "Unsubscribe" will automatically send a request back to the sender so they'll stop emailing you.
This only works for some senders right now. We're actively encouraging senders to support auto-unsubscribe — we think 100% should. We won't provide the unsubscribe option on messages from spammers: we can't trust that they'll actually unsubscribe you, and they might even send you more spam. So you'll only see the unsubscribe option for senders that we're pretty sure are not spammers and will actually honor your unsubscribe request. We're being pretty conservative about which senders to trust in the beginning; over time, we hope to offer the ability to unsubscribe from more email.
For those of you senders who are interested in this feature, the most basic requirements are including a standard "List-Unsubscribe" header in your email with a "mailto" URL and, of course, honoring requests from users wishing to unsubscribe. You'll also need to follow good sending practices, which in a nutshell means not sending unwanted email (see our bulk sending guidelines for more information).
With an easy way to unsubscribe, everybody wins. Your spam folder is smaller, and senders don't waste time sending you email that you no longer want.
Update (1:50pm): If you want to unsubscribe without reporting the message as spam, click "show details" in the top-right corner of the message, then click "Unsubscribe from this sender."

(CNN) — With Halloween around the corner, the weather is giving the northeastern quarter of the United States a taste of the Christmas spirit.
A wintery cold front plunging down from Canada is shoving America's fall weather down towards the Gulf of Mexico and replacing it with frost and in some places snow.
Jack Frost is nipping at noses in the Midwest, where temperatures are 10 to 15 degrees colder than average, the Nation Weather Service says.
Thursday night temperatures are predicted to fall into the 20s, and residents from Missouri to Pennsylvania will need to unpack their ice scrapers for their morning commutes, along with winter coats.
A belt of hard freezes threatens crops, as it stretches to farmland in the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys, extending possibly into the Carolinas and into north Georgia.
Moisture from the Great Lakes is predicted to combine with the cold weather to produce snow in areas downwind.
Residents of Columbus, Ohio, and Baraboo, Wisconsin watched flurries come down already on Wednesday.
Western New York state may see as much as a foot of snowfall in the coming days, but high temperatures will rise into the 40s, making it hard for much of it to stick.
The World Series will not turn into a hockey match, but the brisk blast began rolling into Boston's Fenway Park in time for game one.
The first pitch sliced through 48 degree air, making it the third coldest start to the baseball championship.
The blanket of frigid air should roll down over the mountain states by early next week, triggering sleet and snow, the weather service said.
An early blizzard in South Dakota killed tens of thousands of heads of cattle and displaced thousands more in early October.
A cold snap blindsided ranchers and caught cattle before their winter coats had grown out.

I am a hypocrite. I admit it.
As a member of the Jewish community, and board member for Chico Havurah, I am appalled that some bigot defaced billboards put up by the atheist/agnostic community. I fully support their right to gather as a group of like-minded people, have potluck dinners and figure out whom among them will take on the various roles to organize any group.
I was raised with a strong sense of personal ethics. Maybe it's because I'm Jewish and therefore a minority, an understanding that people come from different belief systems. But hey, some of my best friends are Christian, and atheists, and Hindu, and Muslim.
Secondly, I am appalled that who I assume to be the Chico Rod and Gun Club continued to put a sign up to advertise a gun show at the fairgrounds on the northwest corner of Highway 32 and Bruce Road, directly behind the flowers which stand as a memorial for David Yang, who was killed by a sniper at that intersection. There are three other corners to choose from. Why not advertise a gun show on the corner where the sniper laid in wait?
Back to my hypocrisy. I am proud of the person who took spray paint to the gun show sign and crossed off the word "gun" and wrote the word "dumb" in large letters across the sign. To my mind, placing that sign in that specific location is both callous and uncaring. Go ahead, call me a hypocrite, I can take it.
— Liz Michelena, Chico

Debt Crisis Boost for Rapture 'Industry,' Magazine Says
A new "apocalypse establishment" has emerged in the momentary absence of Harold Camping, exploiting the fears resulting from the approaching debt-ceiling deadline, and may help the End Times preacher to resurrect "professionally," a business magazine says.
"In addition to Camping's revised forecast – the world is definitely going to end on Oct. 21 – many Rapture-seekers now believe the Aug. 2 debt-ceiling deadline signals that the end may be very, very near," journalist Peter Savodnik writes in the latest issue of the Bloomberg Businessweek magazine.
This perception is being promoted by "new entrepreneurs" to take advantage of "a huge vacuum in the Rapture market" created by the absence of Harold Camping, the writer suggests.
The 89-year-old Family Radio Network founder had a stroke June 9, around three weeks after the Rapture failed to occur May 21 as predicted by him. Camping is reportedly recovering in a nursing home.
Many in America think the end of the world is near. Surveys show nearly six in 10 white evangelicals believe Jesus will return in judgment by 2050, as opposed to 41 percent of all Americans, according to Religion News Service. Two-thirds of white evangelicals also believe recent natural disasters are signs of the end times. However, many do not perhaps believe in predictions with exact dates.
But some are linking the end times to the debt ceiling "Armageddon," the Aug. 2 deadline when the Treasury Department will run out of money to pay the bills without further borrowing, if the ceiling is not raised. "If the economy goes, that'll be fertile soil for the antichrist to take power," the magazine quotes RaptureReady.com "proprietor" Todd Strandberg as saying.
RaptureReady.com, which cautions against date setting, is the most popular Rapture-preparedness website in the world, and its owner, "part of a new generation of entrepreneurs trying to take advantage of Camping's absence," according to the author. "Hitler came out of the Depression. A lot of us believe the antichrist will use the same stepping stone," reads the second part of Strandberg's quote.
The scribe suggests that the "new apocalypse establishment" is smarter in business. Unlike Camping, new entrepreneurs are offering an "unprecedented array of doomsday-themed literature, podcasts, survival kits, and other goods and services for navigating the end of times."
"Jack Van Impe, a televangelist from Troy, Mich., has developed an e-commerce business hawking educational literature such as the Prophetic Guide to the End of Times ($14.95) in addition to DVDs like 11:59: The Countdown (two-discs, $34.95)," he cites as examples.
Impe, the journalist says, is "competing for market share with the Costa Rica-based writer Tim McHyde; Alex Dodson, whose Watchman Radio Hour enjoys a nationwide audience; and evangelical minister and author Tim LaHaye, who has co-written 16 Judgment Day-inspired novels… According to Cheryl Kerwin, senior marketing manager at Tyndale House Publishers, LaHaye's Left Behind series has sold 63 million copies worldwide."
The magazine also mentions Keith Preston, owner of Rapture Ready Consulting in Kenton, Ohio which grossed $380,000 in 2009, as developing an app for those who will not be Raptured. "Let's say 2 million people disappear," Preston tells the magazine. "You've got doctors and police officers, you have IT guys, writers, and politicians. So the problem is, who's going to do whatever they were doing? You need an app for that."
"How he plans to sell it from Heaven remains unclear," remarks the writer.
The Rapture economy even includes heathens, notes Savodnik. "Since most Rapture prophets have traditionally declared pets barred from Heaven, insurance company Eternal Earth-Bound Pets is now offering a 10-year relocation policy. For $135, the company promises to place dogs, cats, bunnies, and so forth with a loving family of atheists who have no hope of being saved."
If October 22 happens, failing Camping's prophecy yet again, Rapture enthusiasts will look at 2012, the journalist says. "And this is good news for Harold Camping's own professional resurrection," he remarks, concluding with a quote from Dr. William H. Sledge, a Yale University professor of psychiatry: believers in the Rapture tend to be either psychotic or very "suggestible."
The "industry" is expected to thrive for longer than we thought it could.

More About SoyWorld USA…
SoyWorld USA is based out of Illinois. Our mission from the beginning was to show the world that soy was much more than just a health food ingredient. As consumers ourselves, we were tired of using products that left our skin feeling dry, cracked and irritated. We also couldn't shake the suspicion that breathing in toxic smelling fumes was unhealthy. We were also concerned about how all of these chemicals were harming the environment and waterways.
After years of painstaking formulation and testing, we introduced SoyMagic Skin Cleanser using a revolutionary natural soy formula that cleaned exceptionally well and was friendly to the environment. We wondered if the same process could be used in other ways. Through time and more testing, the answer was a resounding "YES".
Our patented process starts with real soybeans – not soy extracts or soy oils – and is broken down into incredibly small particles. These micro particles travel at incredibly high speeds and force when they encounter a surface. The cleansing mechanism in SoyMagic is much more effective, much more efficient, gentler on your hands, and kinder to you and your family's health.
Independent laboratory results concluded our products are also up to 99.99% effective in fighting bacteria, including E. coli and Salmonella.
Our products are non-toxic, biodegradable and help acids and oils break down in water systems.

I have often said to myself that "next time I am applying for a job I am going to cut out all the bullshit resume talk and do something that stands out". Somehow, I never get around to it. I end up playing it safe.
Not Josh Mishell. This is a truly cool website/resume application to New Belgium Brewing for the the role of Strategic Marketing & Branding Director (I think, I don't actually know the specific job but looking their site it would appear to be this one).
I retweeted Josh's link and he seemed genuinely impressed it had made its way to Australia (the home of Cascade, one of his favourites). Whoops, update, I am told it is Cascade in Poland :(
Check it out by clicking on the image below. Would you like to get a a job application like this?

Cover artist Susan D'Alessio is one of a rare breed of artists who paints outdoors, creating plein air works that celebrate our local landscape. Her settings are varied, from waterscapes featuring Louse Point to farmlands depicting Sagaponack to neighborhoods showing Georgica. Her points-of-view are also diverse, from panorama perspectives to closer-up scenes. Sometimes D'Alessio includes figures in her paintings; sometimes she doesn't. Regardless of these variations, however, the works maintain a certain "look" based on composition, place and light quality. A good example is this week's cover image of the Napeague landscape.
Q: What is it about the Napeague landscape that you're drawn to?
A: It's unique because it has wetlands and dunes. It's also so important that these natural places continue to be there for all of us to enjoy. The setting is similar to paintings of Shinnecock Hills by William Merritt Chase. I want Napeague to be recognizable to people who know the area.
Q: What is it particularly that you like about the scene on the cover? [expand]
A: I like the shapes of the natural landscape and the way the browns and sandy vegetation provide a nice contrast to the calm blue pond and the green marshland beyond.
Q: In general, what aspects do you concentrate on in your landscapes?
A: I don't concentrate on the subject matter but the design elements of the scene, the compositional structure.
Q: I can understand that. Your previous profession focused on design.
A: I was a textile designer for 27 years, doing product development for Liz Claiborne and traveling around the world.
Q: How did you end up here?
A: My grandmother bought property in Hampton Bays in 1956 when I was four. (They had camped in Shinnecock Hills in the 1940s.) And I also visited friends in East Hampton when I was a child.
Q: As an adult, you have become committed to the plein air process and are active with the Plein Air Peconic group and The Peconic Land Trust. How are these two groups related in your life?
A: I enjoy the open fields, rural character of the farms and natural habitats that The Peconic Land Trust helps to preserve. A view of a farm shed from the roads we travel on is always intriguing to my artist's eye. I like how the farm buildings fit so well into the open landscapes. I am fortunate to have found artists in Plein Air Peconic that share my love of depicting the vanishing landscape. We keep each other motivated, and this helps us be more prolific. We mostly paint together when we are painting a preserved Peconic Land Trust site.
Q: How has your painting changed over the years?
A: My skies have become more developed and capture the weather conditions and seasonal changes. There are also less small details in my work now.
Q: What do you see in your future?
A: I get a joy going out in nature and painting. I hope to do that forever.

SAN ANTONIO — An ex-con accused of shooting at two bouncers — killing one — after he was ejected from a South Side strip club pleaded guilty Monday to murder.
Because of his prior prison stints for theft and harassment of a public servant, Joe Christopher Limon, 34, faces a minimum sentence of 25 years for the May 2012 shooting of MVP Club employee Frank Bernard Lurati, 24.
In exchange for his plea, prosecutors have agreed to ask for no more than 40 years when he is sentenced later this month by state District Judge Angus McGinty. He previously faced up to life.
The surviving employee told authorities Limon vowed that he would "be back" after he was kicked out. He later parked about 10 yards from the bouncers, motioned for them approach and then opened fire, the witness said. Lurati was shot in the chest and abdomen.

Professors Turlish, Taylor (chair, fall semester), Dillon, Malcolmson (chair, winter semester and Short Term), and Nayder; Associate Professors Freedman and Shankar; Assistant Professors Ruffin and Federico; Visiting Assistant Professor Farnsworth; Lecturers Hanrahan and Koehn
Through a wide range of course offerings the Department of English seeks to develop each student's capacity for reading—the intense, concerned involvement with textual expression. All courses are intended to foster critical reading, writing, and thinking, in which "criticism" is at once passionate appreciation, historical understanding, and the perpetual re-thinking of values. More specifically, the English major prepares students for careers such as teaching, publishing, and writing, for graduate study in literature, and for graduate programs leading to the study or practice of medicine or law. Though the department embodies a variety of teaching styles and interests, the faculty all believe in the art of patient, engaged reading as both knowledge and pleasure.
Departmental offerings are intended to be taken in sequence. Courses at the 100 level are open to all students. Courses at the 200 level are open to students who have completed one 100-level course, and are more difficult in terms of both the amount of material covered and the level of inquiry; they also address questions of theory and methodology in more self-conscious ways. Seminars at the 300 level are generally for juniors and seniors who have completed several English courses (the latter requirement may be waived at the discretion of the instructor for certain interdisciplinary majors). More information on the English department is available on the Web site (www.bates.edu/ENG.xml).
Cross-listed CoursesNote that unless otherwise specified, when a department/program references a course or unit in the department/program, it includes courses and units cross-listed with the department/program.
Major RequirementsMajors must complete eleven courses of which a minimum of seven must be taken from the Bates faculty. Students may receive no more than two credits for junior semester abroad courses, and, normally, no more than two credits for junior year abroad courses. Under special circumstances, and upon written petition to the English department, junior year abroad students may receive credit for three courses. In a CBB off-campus study program focused on the English major, students may receive credit for three courses without petitioning. Unless specifically designated as a seminar by the Bates English department, none of the CBB courses can be used to fulfill seminar credit. One course credit is granted for Advanced Placement scores of four or five, but these credits count only toward overall graduation requirements, not toward the eleven-course major requirement.
The eleven courses required for the major must include one or two courses at the 100 level and nine or ten courses at the 200 level or above. Upper-level courses must include: a) three courses on literature before 1800; b) one course emphasizing critical thinking; c) two junior-senior seminars; and d) a senior thesis (English 457), which may be undertaken independently or as part of a junior-senior seminar (457A with a thesis written through 395A, for example). Although writing a thesis through a seminar may fulfill both a seminar requirement and the thesis requirement, it counts as a single course credit.
Students may count one course in creative writing toward the major.
Students may count two foreign literature courses (with a primary focus on literature rather than on language instruction) towards the English major. Foreign literature courses include those focusing on Greek and Latin literature; the English department strongly recommends that majors take a course in Homer, Virgil, Ovid, or classical mythology. These courses are listed under Classical and Medieval Studies.
Creative WritingEnglish majors may elect a program in creative writing. This program is intended to complement and enhance the English major and to add structure and a sense of purpose to those students already committed to creative writing. Students who wish to write a creative thesis must undertake this program.
Requirements for the focus on creative writing include:
1) Two introductory courses in the writing of prose (291), poetry (292), or drama (Theater 240).
2) One advanced course in the writing of prose or poetry (391 or 392).
3) Three related courses in the English department or in the literature of a foreign language.
4) A one- or two-semester thesis (nonhonors) in which the student writes and revises a portfolio of creative work.
Students who elect the creative writing concentration must fulfill all English major requirements but may count toward them one creative writing course as well as the related literature courses and thesis.
With departmental approval, students may write a two-semester honors thesis in the senior year. Majors who wish to present themselves as potential honors candidates are encouraged to register for at least one junior-senior seminar in their junior year. Majors who elect to participate in a junior year abroad program and who also want to present themselves as honors candidates must submit evidence of broadly comparable course work or independent study pursued elsewhere; such persons are encouraged to consult with the department before their departure or early in their year abroad. At the end of their junior year, prospective honors candidates must submit a two-page proposal and a one-page bibliography; those wishing to write a two-semester creative thesis must submit a one-page description of a project and a substantial writing sample. Both are due at the department chair's office on the first Friday after Short Term begins.
Students planning to do graduate work should seek out advice early on concerning their undergraduate program, the range of graduate school experience, and vocational options. Graduate programs frequently require reading proficiency in up to two foreign languages, so it is strongly recommended that prospective graduate students achieve at least a two-year proficiency in a classical (Latin, Greek) or modern language.
